The study aimed to determine the segmental and suprasegmental skills of ethnolinguistic groups of students, who were the Muslim and Subanen students, officially enrolled at Jose Rizal Memorial State University Siocon Campus, Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte. The descriptive survey method was utilized through an oral examination. There were 335 respondents involved in the study. The main statistical tools used were frequency count, percentage, chi-square and weighted mean. The findings revealed that the respondents of the study were dominated by ages 18-19, Muslim students, females, first year level and most of them took a Bachelor of Elementary Education. Moreover, most of the students were coming from the Poblacion. It was also revealed that the segmental and suprsegmental production skills of ethnolinguistic groups of students were moderately skillful in terms of vowel sounds and intonation and much skillful for consonant sounds and stress. It further found out that there was only a significant difference existed when analyzed as to the course taken. The findings of the study can lead to pedagogical implications. One possible implication is that the administration may serve this as basis to allocate funds to establish a speech laboratory equipped with speech facilities and equipment to serve as an avenue, where the students can practice and develop their production skills using the English language. Moreover, through the results of this study, the language teachers will be guided that they should give emphasis on the production of vowel sounds and intonation.
