It employed a non-experimental quantitative research design using the correlational method. The respondents were 131 public elementary school teachers selected through universal sampling. Data were analyzed using the mean, Pearson r, and regression analysis. Findings revealed that teachers’ critical analysis skills and communicative ability were moderate. Results further showed a significant relationship between critical analysis skills and communicative ability, with the domains of critical analysis skills exerting a significant influence on teachers’ communicative ability.
