Abstract
The study aimed to assess the extent of effects of online messaging on the vocabulary development of grade 7 students in Tomas Claudio Colleges during the School Year 2024-2025. The respondents in the study were the total population of Grade 7 students at Tomas Claudio Colleges, which consisted of 207 students. A descriptive survey research design was applied, using a researcher-developed questionnaire checklist to collect the required data. This instrument measured the extent of online messaging's effects on the vocabulary development of grade 7 students, including word order, spelling, word meaning, and pronunciation. The study revealed that online messaging often affects the vocabulary development of grade 7 students in the cited aspects. In addition, students' profiles often affect their vocabulary development. Further, there is no significant correlation between the perceived extent of online messaging's effects on students' vocabulary development with respect to word order, spelling, and word meaning; however, pronunciation shows a significant correlation. The study concluded that students' academic performance is not correlated with the extent of online messaging's effects on vocabulary development. Recommended that school administrators support teacher training focused on addressing language challenges linked to students' online habits, ensuring that language development remains a priority alongside the growing use of technology in education.
