520			_aThe general problem of the study was "How does the Audio-lingual method affect the teaching of SPFL-Chinese Mandarin to Grade 8 and Grade 9 students at Bataan School of Fisheries during the A.Y. 2017-2018"? The main respondents of this study were one hundred (100) Junior High School students from BSF who were taking up SPFL-Chinese Mandarin (Basic Level 1). Specifically, this study described the profile of the students in terms of age, sex and multiple intelligence. These variables were made as the bases for grouping the students into two - the Audio-lingual (experimental) Group and the Prescribed (control) Group. Their level of performance was assessed before and after their respective treatments as reflected in their pretest and posttest scores. Finally, the two groups were compared in their performances as a result of the different treatments made. This study used the international assessment tool called the Youth Chinese Test (YCT) The data gathered for this study were coded, encoded, and statistically processed using the statistical software called SPSS version 20. Results were presented in a tabular form using percentage, frequency counts, mean, standard deviation, Paired Samples T-test, Independent Samples t-test, and Gain Score Analysis. After the instructions in SPFL-Chinese Mandarin, it was observed that the control group and the experimental groups' scores are almost the same since they both received passing scores in terms of pretest and posttest. However the experimental group showed a significant difference in the scores before and after instruction compared to the control group. Both groups improved after instruction in SPFL-Chinese Mandarin. It was found that gain score of the experimental group differ significantly as indicated by the absolute t-value. Hence, it is believed that students improved in performance in SPFL Chinese Mandarin regardless of what group they belong to. However, the gathered data suggests that the scores of the experimental group was higher than the scores of the control group after the experiment. . The findings show that both methods used to deliver lessons to teach a foreign language, is effective but the Audio-lingual method posed a more promising result. As the findings were disclosed, it was also recommended for the school officials to conduct seminars or trainings to equip the teachers and sustain their competence; in return, students' performance in learning another foreign language is also maintained or even drastically improved. In considering the effectiveness of the audio-lingual method and the prescribed in teaching foreign language to junior high school students, there are a few more factors to be further discussed. One would be the student's profile as an important determiner at the decision making phase of language teaching which may be differentiated with other variables to test the students gain score. Finally, language teachers should device and implement a teaching strategy in line with the students' preferences and surrounding situation. Finally, curriculum developers, book authors, and module evaluators should consider making, producing, or evaluating curriculum, workbooks or textbooks that reinforce proper presentation of Mandarin lessons which may be flexibly used with various teaching methods rather than just having books and references with disorganized presentation and translation in mixed languages as well as boxed in one teaching method.
