Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant transformation in our country's educational system. Many public schools use modular distance learning as their learning mode. Learners, on the other hand, no longer take notes when using the modules. As a result, they have nothing to review before taking the summative assessments, which may have an impact on their academic achievement. The descriptive-developmental research design was utilized in this study to address the abovementioned educational problem. The researcher began by describing the learners' academic performance using the results of their first summative test. It reveals that the majority of students (38, or 30.89%) received scores ranging from 7 to 12, which is considered fairly satisfactory. Then, the researcher used the ADDIE Model to create the contextualized lecture handouts and reflection journals for English 8. They were examined and evaluated by five specialists. Following the evaluation, the researcher pilot tested the supplementary learning materials with a group of Grade 8 students. In all, the contextualized lecture handouts and reflection journals gained an overall mean of 4.86, interpreted as Very Acceptable, which means that they are very acceptable for teachers' and students' use. The study recommends that English teachers may utilize the newly developed contextualized lecture handouts and reflection journals to help their students improve their academic performance in English 8. Then, school administrators may include contextualization and development of learning materials in their in-service training programs, seminars, and workshops. For curriculum developers, they may emphasize the importance of lecture handouts and reflection journals in the current curricula's application of modular distance learning. Lastly, future researchers may test the effectiveness of the supplementary materials.
