This document presents the K-12 English curriculum guide from the Department of Education of the Philippines. It discusses the philosophy, guiding principles, needs of learners, and outcomes of the English curriculum. The philosophy states that language is central to intellectual, social and emotional development. The guiding principles indicate that language acquisition is a lifelong process and involves meaningful use of language through engagement with texts. The needs of learners section describes Generation Z, born after 1994, as digital natives who are comfortable with technology but have reduced attention spans. The ultimate goal of the curriculum is to produce graduates who can communicate effectively, understand other content areas, and be successful in their chosen careers through application of language skills.
