This study attempted to determine the Textbook-Based Phoneme-Focused Instructional Materials on the Spoken English of Grade VI Pupils of Hinolaso Elementary School, Hinolaso Elementary School, Hinolaso, Dolores, Eastern, Samar. The coefficient of correlation or computed r of the subjects; Spoken English revealed the following. The computed r’s for both the Experimental Group and the Control Group were lesser than the tabular r value which indicates that there is no significant relationship between the subjects’ achievement in the Spoken English and their General Rating in English. Thus, the null hypothesis is accepted. This further indicates that the general achievement rating in English is not affected by the subjects’ ability in Spoken English. The 30 lessons in the Textbook-Based Phoneme-Focused Instructional Materials are effective for use in the development of pronunciation, enunciation, articulation and production skills which led to the improvement of the ability of the experimental subjects in Spoken English. The materials were found to be within the oral reading level of the Grade VI pupils. All the lessons on the Textbook-Based Phoneme-Focused Instructional Materials were acceptable and appropriate in terms of physical aspects, instruction to learners, learning activities and evaluating materials. Pupils’ Spoken English is not related with their attitude towards English and general Achievement Rating in English.
