This document provides a contrastive analysis of the Filipino and English languages. It outlines some of the key differences between their phonology, grammar, and syntax. These include differences in vowel and consonant sounds, tense formation, pronouns, word order, stress and intonation. The document then discusses some instructional implications for addressing challenges that may arise for Filipino students learning English from these differences, such as exercises focused on past tense verbs, sentence structure, pronunciation, and engaging multiple learning styles. It emphasizes the importance of understanding contrastive analysis to better support the diverse needs of all English language learners.
I would like to share here my ppt presentation of this SLA theory. It was hard finding and putting together the right materials or articles for my report but my Professor liked this final presentation^^ Through other presentations I found online, I somehow gained the idea on what and how to report it.
I hope this will also help other MALED students researching for this topic^^
Kindly inform me if I failed to cite other sources that you know or see. Thank you very much.
Task-based Language Teaching (TBLT), also known as task-based instruction (TBI), focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language. Such tasks can include visiting a doctor, conducting an interview, or calling customer service for help.

Language Transfer: An Interlanguage Strategy by Primary School English Learne...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: English a second language for most people of the world, has increasingly become the
international language for business and commerce Science and technology and International relations and
diplomacy. In Kenya the importance of English as a medium of instruction goes way back to the colonial
period.Even though English has been accorded a prestigious position of being the official language and
language of instruction learners take time to learn it. The learners construct a personal linguistic system in the
interim time which is different from the first language and also target language called interlanguage. This paper
examines language transfer as an interlanguage strategy employed by primary school pupils in MirigaMieru
West Division, Meru County. The study employed descriptive survey method of research. The target population
comprised of class five pupils. Standard five was targeted because they are in their second year in upper primary
and being in their early years of acquiring English, the pupils use it more in their interaction with and in writing
of essays. At this level English is also used as a medium of instruction and used in the learning of other subjects.
Data was analyzed within the tenets of interlanguage theory. The study established that in the process of
learning English pupils transferred linguistic structures from their first language which is Kiementi to English.
The study recommends that English teachers should give clearer explanations of English grammar rules and
second language learners should be guided in extensive reading as extensive reading exposes learners to correct
grammatical structures. The study contributes to the scholarly, literature on interlanguage of second language
English learners.The findings are also useful to the teachers, pupils and to curriculum developers of language in
designing learning materials
Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar 7 by Ryan A. Cortez, MSEERYAN CORTEZ
This Supplementary Intervention Material in English Grammar is a comprehensive and practical material which is primarily designed to improve the competence of the freshmen students of Bacnotan National High School in the area of grammar. It aims to strengthen the grammatical competence of the students for independent acquisition of knowledge for academic study which is their tool for effective communication, both in oral and in written communication.
As an intervention material, this assists students to acquire competence in grammar as they put into practical use the different lessons therein. It contains plentiful exercises for practice and reinforcement. Activities are presented in a creative fashion graded to suit the different learning abilities of the students and every effort was made by the author to contextualize, localize and indigenize the different activities to make the learning of English grammar easier and enjoyable. The author believes that a learner understands concepts and acquires skills if lessons are within his experience.
It is then the author’s greatest hope that this supplementary intervention material will enable learners to become competent in the use of English language.
So, Enjoy while you are learning!

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. According to Dr. Richards;
The contrastive analysis (CA), states that where the first
language and the target language are similar, learners will
generally acquire structures with ease, and where they are
different, learners will have difficulty.
3
4. CA was based on the related theory of language
transfer: difficulty in second language learning results from
transfer of features of the first language to the second
language.
Transfer (also known as interference) was considered
the main explanation of learners’ errors.
4
5. Teachers were encouraged to spend time on
features of English that were most likely to be affected by
first-language transfer.
Today, transfer is considered only one of many
possible causes of learners’ errors. However, in the 1960s the
contrastive analysis was criticized, as research began to
reveal the second language learners use simple structures’
that are very similar across learners form a variety of
backgrounds, even if their respective first languages are
different from each other and different from the target
languages’ (Lightbown and Spada, 2006)

7. Tagalog Background
7
Tagalog pronounced (ta-GA-log) serves as the basis of the
Filipino language, the national language of the Philippines.
The two languages are basically identical. However, there
is a significant political and social history that underlies the
reasons for differentiating between Tagalog and Filipino.
The current constitution of the Philippines maintains that
Filipino is the country’s national language. Today, Filipino is
considered the proper term for the language of the Philippines,
especially by Filipino- speakers who are not Tagalog origin.
10. English and Tagalog Comparison
English
- Five vowels: a, e, i, o, u
short and long sounds
- 21 consonant sounds, 9
English consonants do not
occur in Tagalog: /v/ , /j/,
/z/, voiced and voiceless
th, sh, dz, ch, z.
- Language is written to left
to right
10
Tagalog
- Five vowel sounds; a, e, i, o,
u, all short, long vowels are
nonexistent
- 16 consonant sound -
b,d,k,g,h,l,m,ng,p,r,s,t,w
and y. The consonants have
only one sound each most
notably the g always
pronounced as the hard g,
never soft.
- Language is written left to
right
11. English
- Present, past, future tense,
and there are several
different forms of these
tenses
- English has linking verbs
like: am, is, are, was, were
- English words are not
always pronounced the
same way it is spelled.
Tagalog
- Almost all verbs are
regular tense.
- No auxiliary or linking
verb
- Highly phonetic
language, most words are
spelled like they sound.
English and Tagalog Comparison
11
12. English
- Pronouns indicate
gender: he, she, we,
they, his, her, us
- Nouns do not require
an article
- Plurals are made by
adding “s” or “es”
Tagalog
- Pronouns do not indicate
gender. Siya means he or she
- All nouns, even proper nouns
require an article.
- The plural word is preceded
by “mga” i.e “mga apple”
means apples and “the
child” would be “ang
bata”; “the children”
would be “ang mga bata”
English and Tagalog Comparison
12
13. English
- Sentence structure is
SVO
- Focus is placed by voice,
important words are
emphasized
- Three degrees of
adjectives
Tagalog
- Sentence structure is
usually VSO
- Focus of the sentence is
done by placing a marker
in front of the word that
is the focus. Marker come
before a noun. Ang, ng
and sa are markers.
- Three degrees of
adjectives
English and Tagalog Comparison
13
14. In Tagalog, verbs start with verb roots. To create
tenses, an affix is added to the root. To make verb future tense,
the first two letters are repeated.
Example:
- The verb jump is “talon”. Future tense is “tatalon” the t and
a is repeated.
- To turn a verb to past tense, insert “um” between the first
and second letter of the word. Past tense of talon is
tumalon.
14
15. - To turn a verb into present tense, combine the future and
past tense rules. Repeat the first two letters, and then add
“um” between them. The present tense of talon is
tumatalon.
15
16. Instructional Implications
Addressing past tense difficulties:
- Have students tell you what they did the night before
- Have students tell you about a TV show they watched
- Have students fill in correct past tense verbs in sentences
- Give students sentence starters like “Last night …. Or Yesterday…
- Show students pictures and have them write sentence in past
tense
- Use tongue twisters such as: Swan swam over the sea. Swim,
swam, swim! Swan swam back again. Well swum, swam!
16
17. The word order in Tagalog is different in English.
Example:
In English one would say “The house is
beautiful.” which is translated into Tagalog as
“Maganda ang bahay.” which literally means
“Beautiful the house.”
17
18. Instructional Implications
Sentence structure difficulty:
- Write individual words on index cards representing various parts
of speech
- Color code each part of speech the same color
- Start with simple sentences
- Work collaboratively to build sentences by picking words from
idex cards.
18
19. Tagalog usually stresses the last syllable. It also
uses glottal stop which can be stressed. The diacritical
marks are used to show which vowel should be stressed
and which vowel should be accompanied with the glottal
stop and which should be the combination of both stress
and the glottal stop.
This is very important because the meaning of a
word can be change if you don’t make the stress or
glottal stop correctly.
19
21. Instructional Implications
- Introduce IPA
To capture accents by showing students how a word should be
pronounced. Students would not have to depend on hearing the words
to learn them.
- Cooperative Learning Groups
To build confidence with speaking
- Read stories that are familiar to students
21
22. “
Whether we as teachers have an ESL class, a special
needs class, or a regular population class, it is important to meet
the diverse needs of all students. Activities must be geared to all
learning modality styles.
