Filipino graduates’ English skills lower than target for cab drivers in Dubai

[ice15]

I've been based outside the country for more than 10 years.

And yes, Pinoys are not comfortable speaking in English... Yes we have call centers, english teachers and nurses, but iilan lang sila sa population natin.

Sad part is that the "Pinoy Dream" is not to be a lawyer and doctor (etc)... Majority of the people is either asking the government for help, trying to be a singer, or wants to be part of PBB. That big break to be a star/model/singer, travel the world and post it in instagram!

Politicians make long speaches in tagalog, radio stations are in tagalog, TV news and series are all in tagalog.

Binago kasi yung medium of instruction sa mga public schools, from english ginawang pilipino.
Pati mga libro na dati ay in english ngayon ay in pilipino na kadalasan ay mali mali pa.
May yumaman na mga publisher sa scheme na ito, ang cover ay nationalism pero corruption din pala.

[uls]

kasi hindi daw naiintindihan ng mga bata ang english

kaya nga school eh

tuturan ang mga bata mag english

but nooooo

imbes na turuan mag english, ginawa nalang tagalog lahat

galing no?

so heto tayo ngayon

-

mga lolo't lola ang galing mag english

mga textbook nila dati American textbook

[_Cathy_]

the problem kasi with english dito pinas eh ginagamit para magmukhang "angat"........ to look down sa tao....

sabi nga nung pinuntahanan ko na member ng intelligencia....... eh mali ang gamit ng english dito sa atin.... its a TOOL for communication..... not something to brag about......

sa supermarket na favorite ko na lugar...... ito napapansin ko...... yung mga nanay pag pagagalitan anak nila ng pasigaw eh in-english pero ang bantot ng dating....... tapos ilan beses na ako nakakakita ng nognog na tatay na english-english sa anak nya na malakas ang boses..... Kung sino mga dispalenghado ang mukha yung ang malakas mag-english sa public...

and ang paborito na lagi ko sinasabi eh....... stop actling like martin nievera na 30years na sa pinas bulol pa din magtagelog.... my gawd!!!!! ang pretentious...

so ang problem eh yung culture sa pag-gamit ng english dito pinas...... nagiging rich vs poor......

ang ituro sa school eh english is for business use...... hindi para apihin ang kapwa....

Porque pangit o maitim hindi mukhang mayaman bawal na mag English? You should applaud the parents for teaching their children young.

AFAIK, primary and secondary schools have been bilingual (Filipino and English) since the 80s.

Correct, pero from 1987 pati yung English domain subjects (pre-1987) ay tinuturo na sa Pilipino.
From 1987, parang sinadya talaga na pabagsakin yung public education system ng Pinas at i build up ang reputasyon ng mga private schools.
Kaya nagsulputan yung mga pre-need plans para i-address yung demand ng mga maralitang pinoy na mapag-aral sa private schools mga anak nila.
Ginawang negosyo yung education system ng pinas.

By and by hindi ka nila ma understand😁


Feel mo toh?


Karamihan halo halo ang English sa mga *** preferential people.

Hoy baka you'll fall down, hah.


And English sentence followed by "no".

Masakit sa heart na ang pilipino at hindi maka speak straight English😂😂😂

""In 1974 the Bilingual Education Policy (BEP) was established. The Soriano Committee recommended the use of both English and Pilipino as media of instruction in both elementary and high school, depending on the domain (or subjects). "English domain" refers to teaching in English for English Communication Arts, Mathematics, and Science. "Pilipino domain" refers to teaching in Pilipino for Pilipino Communi* cation Arts, Social Studies and History (Department of Education, 1974). ... The BEP was recast to refer Filipino (now spelled with an f as the language of literacy and scholarly discourse while English is referred to as the inte ational language and non-exclusive language of science and technology (Bernardo, 2004). EDCOM, the Congressional Commission for Education was formed in 1991. It advised for all subjects, except for English, to be taught in Filipino. This recommendation remained to be unimplemented."

What happened to PH education? I grew up in the 80s and back then majority of Filipinos had decent English. IIRC, noon time shows were in English format and majority of celebrities were well spoken. Ngayon puro mga sablay na like that Vice Ganda which I abhor.

This video is all over FB with a lot of people finding it funny. I don't see anything funny, in fact, it's disheartening.

Current DepEd head's solution is mandatory ROTC and CMT and more security personnel on campus.

Because around the 90s, the woke lawmakers passed a law mandating ALL school subjects be taught in Pilipino ... ALL ... mathematics, science, computer, etc ...

[chronicle]

The issue is kapag nageenglish ka, sasabihan ka pa na conyo. Maarte. Kaya tuloy hindi naprapractice ng mga bata yung english skills nila. Kahit trained ka pa mag english, kung di naman araw araw ginagamit, mahihirapan ka pa din.

Use it or lose it.

Pero among southest asian nations, our accent are neutral. In short madali intindihin kahit barok.

Kagal, kung aso nga english kinakausap eh. [emoji23]

English speaking naman ata lahat ng dogs sa Pilipinas. Hirap naman yung "upo", "higa", "tahimik"

German Sheperd ng brother ko, may command achtung, hier. Daming kalokohan ng Kuya ko. LOL

Learning English is not tantamount to foregoing nationalism.

Most western European countries still use their native tongue as primary language. But your typical frenchman will still be able to competently converse in English, both in speech and writing, when necessary.

Nationalism is a lousy excuse when the real problem is that our school systems aren't effective enough in equipping students with globally competitive English capabilities.

Behind na nga tayo sa math and science, pati ba naman English kangkungan pa rin.

The problem is the deped system, they cannot remove a teacher for negligence of work, may alaga lang sila students para yun ang pang sali nila sa mga competition para mag mukha magaling ang school. Talamak ang leakage ng nasyonal exams to make their school have a high passing grade.

I thought yung plan to increase salary of teachers will be a very good solution but i guess hindi nagawa sa expectation ko.

My daughter joined the local deped competition dito sa province namin. Sabi sa akin sagot ng deped ang accommodation doon sa area. Lunch time tumawag na sa akin yung teacher at matutulog sila sa sahig ng classroom at wala pagkain. Whats worse ang nanalo overall ay ang host school wherein sila ang judge at sa kanila din galing ang questionnaire.
