WOW! I am impressed with the learning materials they have provided for the students. It's much more improved teaching tools. Unlike back in 19 tra-la- la when I was an educator.This one enable students to learn appropriate pronunciations, proper utilization of words in the sentence as well as utilizng words in casual manner during a verbal conversation. Likewise, it teaches the educators the proper diction & intonations of words they are teaching. Congrats to Phil. Dept. of Educ. Cult. & Sport

this is a great material. all the language skills are there...reading, writing, speaking, and listening. the functional approach or realistic approach is really great to start students from talking...great idioms too! yes give it a try. then later on other topics can be added in the higher levels to prepare them in their college studies and job interviews. we need more materials like this in the islands, functional and meaningful use of the english language. good work...

As an American elementary teacher and mentor/coach to teachers and parents, I loved see the filipino children. My father is from the Philippines. When I was thirteen, I visited my relatives in Manila. I always wanted to see the inside of a classroom. The teachers in the video did a great job! Check out what I'm doing to educate children in a FUN and exciting way.

@greendear143 i can't believe we still have people like you, who's dipping into the networking arena and utilizing the language in question, and STILL have a backward view of English fluency as an indispensable tool.

@SayCrid But in Japan there is very little interest socially in learning English. (Korea is more like Taiwan or the Philippines.. there is a social interest and need in learning the language). Here, there is not. I know, I teach here in Japan and students here do not pick up English to a decent spoken level until Senior High, simply because it isn't "cool" for teenagers. Many of them regret this later as adults, and join private English conversation classes, which charge expensive hourly rates.

@kai77577 its a public school that is why.. but it doesn't matter beacause the teacher able to teach those students.

To all those saying that Japan and Korea speak only their language in their country, this is simply not the case. Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and India have ENGLISH COURSES, South Korea and Cambodia have MANDARIN COURSES in their school systems, thus it shows that international languages are important to all these Asian nations. Do some research. And Philippines should take pride in their English fluency.

@greendear143 well atleast we dont need a translator para maka communicate sa kanila........ unlike other asian countries.......

[greendear143]

@Balut01210 in what way did speaking english an advantage to us? the japanese, koreans, chinese, thais and other asians could still go to western countries whithout them trying to speak english the way native english speakers do. in fact they go there most frequently for pleasure or business. Smantalang tau, we go to western countries to work as their slaves, hahaha. Yabang lang meron tau... un lng.

@icaramba69 you know what? youre the kind of filipino who doesnt realize how important a national language is to the development of nationalism... The japanese, koreans, and chinese speak their own language with pride and dignity and do not really force themselves to speak foreign languages like english just so they can gain recognition of being able to speak foreign language/s fluently. ikaw ang magaral day kung gaano kahalaga ang paggamit ng sariling wika para sa ikauunlad ng isang lipunan! =(
