G-rated video materials have become a boon for today's generation. Pre-schoolers often integrate these materials into their daily routines. This study displayed the effects of G-rated video materials on pre-schoolers’ English fluency. The respondents of this study consisted of 26 pre-schoolers from the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao. The researchers used total enumeration to gather data, ensuring the involvement of the entire population. Participants were handed a parental consent form along with a pre-survey that solicited their background profile on G-rated video materials. Following this, the researchers conducted one-on-one recording sessions with the pre-schoolers using standardized questions. A language instructor validated the recordings using a standardized rubric to determine the preschool’s fluency. The chi-square test was used to analyze the data and assess the relationship between watching G-rated video materials and the English fluency of pre-schoolers. The findings indicated that there is no significant association between the two variables, suggesting other factors may contribute to fluency development.

Classroom discipline is essential in ESL/EFL educational settings, as it directly influences students’ academic performance, participation, and the overall learning environment. Teachers must effectively manage discipline to ensure students remain attentive and that lessons proceed without disruptions. This study aims to explore common discipline problems in ESL/EFL classrooms, analyze their causes, and evaluate effective classroom management strategies. A systematic review of existing literature highlights key challenges, including disruptive behavior, lack of motivation, cultural conflicts, and language barriers. The findings suggest that both teacher-centered and student-centered approaches play crucial roles in addressing these issues. Additionally, culturally responsive classroom management and professional development are pivotal in equipping teachers with the necessary skills. Practical implications include adopting clear expectations, positive reinforcement, behavior contracts, and differentiated instruction to create a conducive learning environment. The study underscores the importance of ongoing teacher training and culturally aware discipline strategies in mitigating classroom management issues.
