Problems in terms and words used in the said curriculum find a bit difficulty in teaching that’s why the researcher develop a material. A Research and Design method was used. All the contents, organization and styles of the instructional material in different tracks were analyzed.

The function of the words as to how they are used as parts of speech were also included. They were also defined operationally on how the teacher used the word in teaching the tracks.

The following criteria: content, organization and style where used to evaluate the material. All the three criteria obtained a perfectly acceptable rating from the validators. The contents had a computed mean of 4.60 while organization received a weighted mean of 4.78. The appropriateness of the disciplines according to the Academic Track of the k-12 Curriculum evaluated and resulted as: 1)Business and accountancy had a general weighted mean of 4.63; 2) Computer technology obtained a 3.70 weighted mean; 3) Communication and Arts garnered 4.63 weighted mean; 4) General education had a computed general weighted mean of 3.91. Thus, majority of the findings resulted the materials in to perfectly acceptance where it gives big help in teaching/learning academic tracks.
