The study determined the language teaching styles of the Higher Education Institution in the province of Kalinga, Philippines. The objectives are: (1) to identify the dominant teaching styles of SLCB (Saint Louis College of Bulanao) and KASC (Kalinga-Apayao State College) English language teachers along the behavioral categories: classroom atmosphere; teaching techniques; planning; what one values in students; teacher-student interactions; classroom management; student behaviors; teaching behaviors; evaluation; and goals; (2) to compare the teaching styles of SLCB and KASC English language teachers. The findings revealed: (1) Sensing-feeling is the dominant teaching style of SLCB and KASC English teachers; (2) SLCB and KASC English teachers have the same teaching styles in (classroom atmosphere), in (teaching behavior), and in (educational goals) categories. However, they differ along the other categories (teaching techniques, planning, preferred qualities of students, teacher-student interaction, classroom management, appropriate behaviors, and evaluation).
