Abstract	This study assessed the sufficiency and utilization of instructional materials in the teaching of Technical English 1 for Criminology students in selected higher education institutions in the province of Capiz during the academic year 2022–2023. Instructional materials are fundamental in improving teaching effectiveness and learning outcomes, serving as essential tools for lesson delivery, assessment, and student engagement (Tweimur & Chuimwei, 2015; Harwell, 2017; Heath, 2023). In the field of Criminology, Technical English 1 holds vital importance as it develops students’ proficiency in technical report writing and legal documentation, necessitating specialized instructional resources aligned with law enforcement practices. Employing a descriptive research design, the study involved 19 respondents, 14 course facilitators and 5 librarians from Capiz State University, Filamer Christian University, HerCor College, and Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion. Statistical treatments using mean, frequency, and percentage revealed a significant insufficiency of instructional materials, with a majority of respondents reporting limited or unavailable resources. Correspondingly, utilization rates were low, establishing a direct relationship between material availability and instructional use. The findings emphasize the need for updated, comprehensive, and context-based instructional materials for Technical English 1. As a major outcome, this research resulted in the publication of Technical English 1 for Criminology Students, an instructional book officially endorsed through a Special Order by the University President for institutional adoption. The study recommends continuous review, development, and utilization of instructional resources, as well as training for facilitators to enhance Criminology instruction.
