The document summarizes an interview with a female English teacher who is 27 years old and has been teaching for 4 years at Domingo Lacson National High School. When asked about the strengths and weaknesses of the language curriculum, she notes it is student-centered but lacks emphasis on basic topics. She finds task-based activities and group work most effective because they allow independent learning, while lectures are least effective. She also notes fourth year students are unprepared for college due to lacking linguistic and meta-cognitive skills. Additionally, she is dissatisfied with lack of administrative support for teacher development and school enrichment programs. In a typical week she divides time between literature, grammar, and writing, using literature as a springboard for grammar
