The study focused on the development of Literature-based Interactive Learning Videos in English for Grade 7 learners of San Guillermo National High School, School Year 2018-2019. The learning material was developed to help the Grade 7 students gain more knowledge and understanding in grammar, being the target area of improvement of the said study which included Simple Past Tense, Past Perfect Tense and Logical Connectors. The learning material contains three segments: introduction which presents the literary piece from which the items and examples cited were anchored; the discussion which explains the concepts in grammar, and assessment that tests the extent of the students' learning. The study sought answers on the level of acceptability of the material with respect to content, format, graphics, user-friendliness and accuracy of information using mean as the statistical treatment. It also endeavored on finding the significant difference on the level of acceptability of the material as assessed by the English language teachers in terms of their personal profile using F-test. Furthermore, it tested the level of performance of the student-respondents as revealed by their pretest and posttest scores with respect to different topics in English by getting the mean and standard deviation, and the significant difference on the level of performance of the control and the experimental groups as revealed by the pretest and posttest results using independent and paired t-test. The study used the developmental method of research since the researcher has developed instruments to gather data such as pretest and posttest and validated questionnaire-checklist. The researcher, too, has come up with the learning videos that were used for the experiment. Moreover, descriptive method was applied since there was utilization of the questionnaire-checklist validated by the ICT experts and English language teachers to know the level of acceptability of the developed output. It was experimental as well because of having two groups of student-respondents whose performances before and after the treatment given were tested, compared, analyzed and interpreted. The participants were the Grade 7 learners grouped into experimental and control group. The total number of student-respondents was 58 with 29 participants from each group. Toss coin technique was utilized to determine their group category. The findings of the study are as follows in terms of sex, there are eight females and two males, in terms of age, five are 26-35 years old and the other five are 36 years old and above; in terms of educational attainment, respondents taking Master's degrees got the highest frequency with four respondents while only one is a College graduate; in terms of rank, Master Teacher I and Teacher III both got the highest frequency of three or 30 percent and Teacher I along with Ph.D. being the lowest with one teacher-respondent representing each rank; and, in terms of length of service, eight or 80 percent respondents were in five years and above. On the level of acceptability of the developed Interactive Learning Videos in English as evaluated by the English language teachers in terms of contents, format, graphics, and accuracy of information, the result was very highly acceptable and, the User-friendliness was highly acceptable. Moreover, on the level of performance of both groups as revealed in their pretest and posttest scores with respect to the topics in English, both experimental and control groups got a verbal interpretation of Satisfactory on the pretest about Simple Past Tense and poor performance in Past Perfect Tense and Logical Connectors. On the posttest, both groups of respondents retained the verbal interpretation Satisfactory in the Simple Past Tense, while, they improved to Fairly Satisfactory in the Past Perfect Tense and Logical Connectors. Generally, both groups have increased the scores yet remained Satisfactory in the Simple Past Tense. With respect to Past Perfect Tense and Logical Connectors, there was a slight improvement on their performance from poor to fairly satisfactory. The study also revealed that there is no significant difference on the level of acceptability with respect to content, format, graphics and user-friendliness when the respondents are grouped in their personal profile in terms of sex, educational attainment, and length of service. However, in terms of age and rank the accuracy of information showed a significant difference. On the basis of the summary of findings, it was concluded that the developed Literature-based Interactive Learning Videos in English are contributory to the grammar skills development of the students. However, the presence of a teacher in the teaching and learning process still make a great positive impact to students. In addition, it was also concluded that a group of learners might not always show positive outcome with technology that would mean it is not always sure a big leap to learner's performance.
