Abstract The teacher must recognize individual differences among his/her students and adjust instructions that best suit to the learners. It is always a fact that as educators, we play varied and vital roles in the classroom. Teachers are considered the light in the classroom. We are entrusted with so many responsibilities that range from the very simple to most complex and very challenging jobs. Every day we encounter them as part of the work or mission that we are in. It is very necessary that we need to understand the need to be motivated in doing our work well, so as to have motivated learners in the classroom. The descriptive-survey method was used in this study, and descriptive means that surveys are made in order to discover some aspects of teacher's teaching style and the word survey denotes an investigation of a field to ascertain
the
typical
condition
is
obtaining.
The
researchers
used
questionnaires, observations, interviews, students' class work and other student outputs for this study. The questionnaires were administered before and after ESL strategies were applied. To determine the participants in the study, random sampling was used. Pre test was given to all Grade III-Acacia pupils then the result was asses using the statistical tool swilk test to determine if the two groups were comparable. The 15 participants undergo descriptive group while the other 15 participants will undergo controlled group. The post test was administered 2nd week of October and it was given to both cases to measure students learning. Data were collected and analyzed as quantitative (examination) and qualitative (survey).
Acknowledgment Words are not enough to express my thanks to the following who in one way or another contributed to the success of this action research. To Mrs. Helen B. Mejos for sharing her ideas to me. To my principal Mr. Aldrin M. Barro for his untiring support regarding this endeavor and of course above all to our Almighty Father for always guiding me in all aspects of my career.

Rationale The teachers, being the focal figure in education, must be competent and knowledgeable in order to impart the knowledge they could give to their students. Good teaching is a very personal manner. Effective teaching is concerned with the student as a person and with his general development. The teacher must recognize individual differences among his/her students and adjust instructions that best suit to the learners. It is always a fact that as educators, we play varied and vital roles in the classroom. Teachers are considered the light in the classroom. We are entrusted with so many responsibilities that range from the very simple to most complex and very challenging jobs. Every day we encounter them as part of the work or mission that we are in. It is very necessary that we need to understand the need to be motivated in doing our work well, so as to have motivated learners in the classroom. When students are motivated, then learning will easily take place. However, motivating students to learn requires a very challenging role on the part of the teacher. It requires a variety of teaching styles or techniques just to capture students' interests. Above all, the teacher must himself come into possession of adequate knowledge of the objectives and standards of the curriculum, skills in teaching, interests, appreciation and ideals. He needs to exert effort to lead children or students into a life that is large, full, stimulating and satisfying. Some students seem naturally enthusiastic about learning, but many need or expect their instructors or teachers to inspire, challenge or stimulate them. "Effective learning in the classroom depends on the teacher's ability to maintain the interest that brought students to the course in the first place (Erickson, 1978). Not all students are motivated by the same values, needs, desires and wants. Some students are motivated by the approval of others or by overcoming challenges. Teachers must recognize the diversity and complexity in the classroom, be it the ethnicity, gender, culture, language abilities and interests. Getting students to work and learn in class is largely influenced in all these areas. Classroom diversity exists not only among students and their peers but may be also exacerbated by language and cultural differences between teachers and students.
Statement of the Problem This paper attempted to answer specific questions such as: 1. What is the effect of teacher's teaching style using English as a Second Language Strategies on student's motivation? 2. How does teacher's teaching style affect students' motivation? 3. What could be some categories that make one's teaching style effective in motivating students?
Hypothesis: If teacher's teaching style would fit in a class and is used consistently, then students are motivated to learn.
Significance of the Study This study is highly significant because this will be of big help to students to better understand the lesson and improve their study habit using motivation.
Definition of Terms For better understanding some key terms have been operationally defined. Descriptive method - means that surveys are made in order to discover some aspects of teacher's teaching style. Controlled Group - They are the Grade III pupils who received instruction from traditional way.
Type of Study This action research used Descriptive Design to address the pupils’ problem. The descriptive research design means that surveys are made in order to discover some aspects of teacher's teaching style and the word survey denotes an investigation of a field to ascertain the typical condition is obtaining. The researchers used questionnaires, observations, interviews.
Participants/Respondents To determine the participants in the study, random sampling was used. Pre test was given to all Grade II pupils then the result was asses using the statistical tool swilk test to determine if the two groups were comparable. The 15 participants undergo descriptive group while the other 15 participants will undergo controlled group

The
researchers
used
questionnaires, observations, interviews, students' class work and other student outputs for this study. The questionnaires were administered before and after ESL strategies were applied. Observation refers to what he/she sees taking place in the classroom based on student's daily participation. Student interviews were done informally before, during, and after classes. Several categories affecting motivation were being presented in the questionnaire.

Instruments The instruments used in the study was Pretest and Post Test (quantitative) to check the learning outcomes of pupils, survey questionnaire (qualitative) about how they like the lesson to be presented.
Data Analysis At the end of the three months research study, Post test was administered for both the experimental and controlled group. The scores achieved by the pupils of the two groups were recorded separately and were treated as academic achievements of the pupils for statistical analysis to accomplish the objectives of the study.
