One Hundred and Fifty (n = 150) participants, all were students of De La Salle university-Manila, were conveniently selected as participants for this research. Half of these participants underwent the auditory treatment, where they were asked to listen to the English narrative, while the remaining half went through the visual treatment, where they were asked to read the English narratives. Result show that those participants who had undergone the visual treatment scored significantly higher than those who had underwent the visual treatment.
