Using the descriptive-correlation research design, this study aims to determine the relationship of Grade 7 students’ profile to the teachers’ strategies in teaching English and teaching strategies to final grade conducted for the School Year 2017-2018. Grade 7 students of Wenceslao TrinidadMemorial National High School, San Pedro and Santiago National High School were the respondents of the study. Questionnaires were used in the collection of data needed to accomplish this study. This study sought to answer the questions: “What are the profiles of the students in terms of Sex?”; “What strategies may be used in the teaching of English 7?”; “What are the students’ final grade in English?”; “Is there any significant relationship between the students’ profile and strategies used by the teachers?”; and, “Is there any significant relationship between teachers’ strategies and final grades of Grade 7 respondents in English?”.Based on the students’ perceptions, Vocabulary Building and Development, Explicit or Direct Instruction, Guided Instruction, Use of Modelling, Visuals, and Graphic Organizers, Group Discussion, Reflection, QRS (Questioning, Reading and Summarizing) and Use of Multimedia were found to be effective in teaching English 7. Sex showed significant relationship with the strategy identified as Use of Multimedia. However, in other strategies mentioned in this research, gender showed no significant relationship. Meanwhile, significant relationship existed between academic performance of students in terms of Final Grade and all the strategies employed by the teacher in teaching English 7 in this study.
