ENGLISH PROFICIENCY LEVELS OF COLLEGE STUDENTS BASED ON TOEIC LISTENING AND READING SCORES: A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY AT HOLY NAME UNIVERSITY

English language proficiency is essential for academic and professional communication, particularly among college students preparing for the demands of the global workforce. This study aimed to determine the overall English proficiency level of Holy Name University college students based on their Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) Listening and Reading scores. Employing a descriptive quantitative approach, the study analyzed institutional TOEIC examination records covering 2023 to 2025 through complete enumeration. Descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, range, frequency, and percentage, were used to describe students' examination performance and proficiency classifications. Findings revealed that the average listening scores across examination administrations ranged from 322 to 403, while average reading scores ranged from 260 to 394. Listening performance was generally higher than reading performance, although both recorded equal average scores of 394 in November 2024. Based on the classifications presented in the institutional results, listening proficiency was predominantly described as Intermediate across examination dates, except in October 2025, when it was classified as High Intermediate to Advanced. Reading proficiency was consistently classified as Intermediate across all reported examination dates. These findings provide an institutional profile of students' receptive English proficiency and highlight the importance of examining listening and reading performance separately. The results may inform targeted language instruction, assessment practices, and academic support initiatives at Holy Name University.
