The main purpose was to determine the academic performance, while the others were finding out the correlation of the variables with their performance as well as checking acquisition of English language learning skills and their study habits. The multiple regression, analysis of variance, correlation coefficient and T-test statistical analysis tools were used for analyzing the data.
