Abstract: This study looked at the extent of the effect of Mother Tongue on Productive Language skills, specifically – speaking and writing, among Grade 5 learners at San Francisco Elementary School in Panabo City, Davao del Norte. This study used a descriptive-correlational research approach with a sample of 107 public elementary learners. and writing skills, which were then subjected to content validity and reliability testing. Quantitative research was used where the researcher used two sets of checklists to collect data about the respondents’ and writing skills, which are then subjected to content validity and testing. The findings showed that the learners’ exposure to the mother tongue is high, which means that their productive language skills were significantly affected by the learners’ exposure to the mother tongue. Furthermore, it was recommended that learners be exposed to English, such as speaking and writing activities, to compensate for the exposure to Mother Tongue. Finally, it is also recommended that further research be done in different contexts using different variables to see what other factors affect the Productive Language skills of learners, especially at the elementary level.
