An Investigation of High School Students’ English Language Proficiency Level and Approaches Used by Teachers in the Classes of The Two High Schools in Dagon Myothit (North) This research aims at the investigation of English language proficiency level of high school students of the two selected high schools from Dagon Myothit (North), and also explore the teachers’ teaching approaches. This research will be conducted; (1) to explore high school students’ English language proficiency level whether they have the abilities to cope with the new curriculum of Grade - X, XI and XII, Myanmar, (2) to acquire teachers’ approaches according to the new curriculum, (3) to apply the outcomes of the research in ELT in Myanmar. The high school students of Grade - X, XI and XII, more precisely about one hundred and sixty six students from No-1, B.E.H.S, Dagon Myothit (North) and two hundred and seventeenth students from No-4, B.E.H.S, Dagon Myothit (North) were conducted as participants for their English language proficiency level test. The test will be conducted as a teacher-made test designed by the researcher and adapted to the current Standardized English Language Proficiency Tests and the new question format of Grade – XII, Myanmar. The survey questionnaires were conducted to English language teachers of Grade X, XI and XII from selected two high schools. The data were analyzed by both quantitative and qualitative methods. The results show that the high school students of both of the selected two high schools have the required proficiency skill to cope with the new curriculum of Grade X, XI and XII according to KG+12, Myanmar. It is found that most of the students from the selected two high schools are B1 and B2 learners. C1 is rare. There is no C2 students. Students from No (1) Basic Education High School, Dagon Myothit (North) have the slightly higher level above than that of No (4). In both selected high schools, female students have one higher level above than the male students in English proficiency level. So, it can be assumed that there is a slight impact of gender on the results of the proficiency level of the selected high school students. Moreover, English language teachers of the selected two high schools use the effective teaching approaches according to the new teaching methods of KG+12. The outcomes of the research are very useful in the implementation for further researchers. The detailed findings and results are described in the findings and discussion section. 2026-01-02 https://meral.edu.mm/records/12789
