The study aimed to determine the English proficiency and literary competence of English major students of CBSUA-Sipocot. The third and fourth-year college students were the respondents of the study. The evaluative-correlational method was employed in the research. Frequency count and percentage technique were used to describe levels of proficiency of the students, while Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to determine if there was a significant relationship between the two variables. The researcher-made test validated by language experts was used to test the students' English proficiency and literary competence. Data disclosed that the general English proficiency level of the students was approaching proficient. Meanwhile, their literary competence and textual and conceptual knowledge were both approaching competent, while their literary reading skills were considered developing competent. Furthermore, the statistical data revealed a significant relationship between the students' English proficiency and literary competence. Hence, the pedagogical shift in delivering language and literature as separate discourses to interfacing the two fields may be adopted by the teachers in promoting effective language and literature teaching. Moreover, creative and innovative activities that link the two discourses may be given more to the learners.
