This study investigated the activities and approaches employed by Grade 9 English teachers to promote oral participation in schools within the 3rd District of Zamboanga del Norte. Using a descriptive research method, the study provided a complete summary of the methods used to enhance students’ oral communication skills. Twenty Grade 9 English teachers participated as respondents, completing a checklist questionnaire for data collection. Statistical tools, including frequency counts and rankings, were used to analyze the data. The result revealed that activities such as oral quizzes, brainstorming, role playing, debate, and presentations were widely used in the classroom to foster English language oral participation. Similarly, teachers utilized various approaches, including reading, communicative language teaching, language-based, collaborative, personal-based, information-based, reflective, and task-based approaches. These findings highlighted the importance of employing engaging and effective strategies to foster active participation and proficiency in English communication among students. A sourcebook was gathered to provide effective teaching activities and approaches to promote English language oral participation among Grade 9 students.
