Language as the foundation of all human relationships as it is the primary means in communication. It reflects the culture, social interest, and diversity engaging people to understand each other. The study aimed to determine the effects of the utilization of Communicative Language Teaching Strategies in the Speaking Competence of the Grade 11 learners of Hondagua National High School, Second Semester, School Year 2019-2020. The study employed true experimental research design involving the Solomon Four-Groups Design using Control and experimental group. Data used in this study came from four sections of Grade 11 learners (n=40 both experimental and control groups). A self-made test-paper was utilized; the statistical tools includes test for dependent and independent populations and One-Way ANOVA. The study revealed that the performance of the four groups in the post-test differs significantly, and the experimental groups performed Very Satisfactorily. With such, it is recommended that said teaching strategy can be used by language teachers in improving speaking skills of learners in language subjects. Additional and complementary instructional materials may be developed for other grade level English and language subjects. Rubrics in assessing the student's performance in Speaking Competence must be used to ensure the effectiveness of the said teaching strategy.
