Vol. 10 · March 2014 45 ABSTRACT Learning to write well is keeping a balanced diet. Toward this end, we sampled 250 freshmen students in Bohol Island State University, Clarin, Bohol, to determine their writing proiciency in identifying and revising sentences with structural slips, basis for a proposed Writing Proiciency Program. Descriptive- correlational survey method, with interview and observation techniques, was used. As instrument, questionnaire with 1-hour item test revealed their proile and writing drawbacks. Manifested much diiculty was in identifying wordy sentences (91.52%) and stringy (97.40%) in transformation. Although they were proicient (2.68) in identiication, but poor (3.28) in transformation. Chi-square contingency test showed signiicant result where the computed t-value (2.892) was greater than the tabular value (1.98). his implies that the hardest the sentence errors to identify, the hardest for them also to transform. Consequently, a designed 11-session Writing Proiciency Program is in order. his will address Vol. 10 March 2014 Print ISSN 2244-1476 • Online ISSN 2244-1484 International Peer Reviewed Journal doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.7718/iamure.ije.v10i1.881 his Journal is produced by IAMURE Multidisciplinary Research, an ISO 9001:2008 certiied by the AJA Registrars Inc.
