Abstract
This research study aims to determine the impact of National Learning Camp (NLC) on language development in grade 7 and 8 students of Biabas Trade High School basis for continuance and enhancement program during the academic year 2024-2025. To determine the difference between grade 7 and 8 pretest and posttest, researchers utilized a descriptive survey questionnaire administered to 40 students. The researchers used the Paired Sample T-test to analyze the data gathered. The findings demonstrate the significant positive impact of the National Learning Camp (NLC) intervention on the language development of Grade 7 and 8 students from Biabas Trade High School. The comparison of pretest and posttest scores reveals a substantial improvement, with the mean score increasing from 8.025 to 10.225. The results of the paired t-test, with a t-statistic of -9.691 and a p-value of 6.18166 x 10^ (-12), confirm that this improvement is statistically significant, allowing us to reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the intervention effectively enhanced students’ language development. Furthermore, paired t-test results confirmed the effectiveness of the NLC program, with a t-statistic of -9.691 and a p-value of 6.18166 x 10^ (-12). Since the p-value is far below the significance threshold of 0.05, the null hypothesis was rejected, indicating a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores. This result underscores the program’s success in enhancing students’ language development. Finally, the researchers designed a proposed action plan to address the identified problems.
