Abstract	Difficulty in expressing oneself using the International language is a continuing issue in classroom situations. The descriptive research design using correlational method was employed in this study.

Considering the many factors that affect learners especially in the affective and cognitive domains, it is vital to consider researches that may be helpful for the development of instruction. In order to find the significant relationship between respondent's age, sex, nature of curriculum, household average years of schooling, anxiety, motivation and English Proficiency, the relationship between respondents' demographics and psychological factors, and the respondent's age, sex, curriculum and psychological factors, the researcher conducted a study among 95 students. Results of this study showed that age, sex, curriculum, household average years of schooling, nature of occupation of parents and motivation have no effect on students' English proficiency, but household aggregate income has a significant relationship to students' EP, and household aggregate income affects anxiety of students. Age, gender, curriculum, household average years of schooling, nature of occupation of parents, and motivation to have no effect on respondents English Proficiency, simply because respondents were not engaged in intellectual activities at home which could have fostered their performance. Household aggregate income is related to their English Proficiency.
