Abstract

In everyday life, oral interpersonal skills, ability to effectively convey and exchange information, thoughts, and feelings with others through spoken language,are used by most people. This study aims to assess the perceived oral interpersonal communication skills of senior high school students at the University of the Philippines Rural High School and examine how these skills affect their self-esteem, an individual's overall subjective emotional evaluation of their own worth. The research involved a sample of senior high school students, focusing on their self-reported communication abilities and self-esteem levels. Data were collected using survey questionnaires and focus group discussions (FGDs) designed to evaluate communication skills and self-esteem. The quantitative data indicated a significant positive correlation between students' perceived communication skills and their self-esteem, with higher communication skills associated with higher self-esteem; while the qualitative data, which were analyzed through thematic analysis, were able to identify factors affecting it. Themes were grouped as perceptions, challenges, experience, and impact which were in line with the objectives of the study. These findings suggest that enhancing oral interpersonal communication skills in high school students may positively impact their self-esteem. The study's implications highlight the importance of an individual's environment and own efforts to support students' personal and social development. However, the study is limited by its reliance on self-reported data, which may introduce response bias. Future research could benefit from a longitudinal design to track changes over time.
