Abstract	This study examined the relationship between learners’ academic performance in English for Academic and Professional Purposes (EAPP) and Practical Research 1 (PR1) using a descriptive correlational design. Secondary data were obtained from the Electronic Class Record of 45 senior high school learners. Mean and standard deviation were used to describe performance, while Pearson’s r measured the relationship between variables. Results revealed that learners performed at an “Outstanding” level in EAPP (M = 96.38, SD = .94) and “Highly Proficient” in PR1 (M = 89.89, SD = 1.98), with higher achievement in EAPP. A moderately positive and significant relationship was found between the two subjects (r = .456, p < .05), indicating that stronger academic literacy skills are associated with better research performance. Findings suggest that EAPP serves as a foundation for research competence. However, additional support and further studies using varied tools and variables are recommended to enhance learners’ research skills.
