The study of literary works is already shouldered by the students in their academic work in the Filipino subject. Some of these, particularly the novel, often receive little attention and are not comprehensively analyzed. This research was conducted to find out the level of acceptance of the students in using the interactive method and to determine their skill in analyzing the formalistic novel. The researcher tried to find out if there is a significant relationship between the interactive method and the skill of analyzing the formalistic novel. This research also found out if there is a significant difference in the skills of the respondents in analyzing the formalistic novel before and after using the interactive method. The descriptive-correlational method was used in this study. In this regard, the researcher used a questionnaire to find out the level of acceptance of students in the Tenth Grade of Ulango Integrated School and created lesson plans that were used in teaching. The collected data were presented through tables and interpreted using Mean, SD, Frequency, Percentage, Pearson-r and T-test. It was discovered in this research that the students fully accept the interactive methods of teaching Filipino. The study also revealed that with the help of interactive methods, the students fully understood the novel and they analyzed it efficiently. The researcher suggested to adopt the use of interactive method for a better understanding of the Filipino lesson.
