The study employed descriptive-comparative-correlational research method. There were thirty-six (36) Grade 10 students and four teachers handling ESP who were the respondents of the study. A teacher-made test and survey questionnaire were the research instruments used in gathering data. To statistically analyze the data, the following tools were used: mean, weighted mean, proficiency level, standard deviation, T-test for Dependent Samples, Pearson Product – Moment Correlation of Coefficient, Coefficient of Determination, and Cohen’s D. The following findings were derived from the study: (1) the academic performance level of the students in ESP 10 was 76.78; (2) the level of technology utilization as perceived by the students had an average weighted mean of 4.20, while as perceived by the teachers was 4.45; (3) the level of academic performance of students in ESP after the utilization of technology had a performance level of 77.58; (4) for the significant difference, students’ perception and academic performance had a t-statistic value of -0.91 and a p-value of 0.192, while teachers’ perception and academic performance had a t-statistic value of -0.84 and a p-value of 0.212; (5) the significant relationship between the academic performance of the students in pre test and post test had an r-value of 0.63, and a p-value of 0.000; (6) the extent of influence of students’ perception and academic performance had an r-value of -0.60 and an r²-value of 36%, while teachers’ perception and the academic performance had an r-value of -0.85 and an r²-value of 72%; (7) the effectiveness of technology utilization, students’ performance had Cohen’s d result of 0.58, while teachers’ perception showed Cohen’s d result showed 0.53; and (8) policy recommendation was crafted to enhance the academic performance of the students.
