This document discusses strengthening the "Speak English" policy at St. John's Institute in the Johnian Community. Surveys were conducted of students in grades 4-10 to assess needs. The surveys found overwhelming support for English as important, with 95%+ of students viewing it positively. The data shows high percentages of students reporting using English often or very often. The document provides rationale for strengthening enforcement of the English-only policy, noting it as a way to further improve students' development at the institution. Plans are proposed to address the identified need of stricter implementation through various initiatives.

I. Context Analysis
A. Overview
iscipline is defined as the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior by
using punishment to correct disobedience. Even the Bible, in 2 Timothy 3:16 states that “All
Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in
righteousness.” At the end of the day, our group believes that the most renowned and universal reason for
implementing restraint and regulation is none other than love. In line with this, as students of St. John’s
Institute (SJI),we are beyond glad for having been educated in an institution that values discipline because
apparently, our school is known for it. At SJI, we are taught to be obedient to learn the essence of order and
discipline. Hairstyle, dress code, attitude and even the length of nails arewaylaid in school. A minor trace
of disobedience may result to a major consequence in the part any Johnian. It may sound foolish for some,
but at the end of the line, that is how discipline works.
Part of this discipline is the usage of the English language. It is always said that learning English
not only gives a lot of benefits and opportunities for those who learn it, but also empowers those around
them. In line with this, most Johnians belonging to lower grade levels consider English as a primary
language, while the rest consider it as secondary. It is true that English is the secondary language for us,
Filipinos, but the speaking of the language should still be considered as a practice.
In line with this, the “Johnian Talk Box” or also known as the “J-Talk Box” was implemented last
year. Names of students speaking the native language or commonly known as Hiligaynon shall be dropped
off the box. The section/s having the least number of names in the box shall be held winner. It lasted for a
school year, however, it is not that successfulafter all. By the start of the project, the Grade 11 S.Y. 2017-
2018 Group 1 of Empowerment Technology class would like to fully implement the usage of the English
language. Therefore, plans were made to consider this project a successful one.

B. Needs
On Friday, October 13, 2017, our group conducted an initial survey to find out more about the
younger Johnians in Junior High School and Elementary Level 2 and their thoughts about the “Speak
English” Policy. We tapped into 12 classes in Junior High School and three in Level 2. Prior to the giving
out of the questionnaires, we gave the students a brief background on what we were about to do, why we
were about to do it then, and how big of a help they could do for us by answering the inquiry forms honestly.
P.S. We had attached the original survey documents enclosed in a short envelope and had prepared a
short video clip of our Social Change Project process as to suffice our context analysis.
Strict
Implementation
of the "Speak
English" Policy
Among the four,
this need ought to
be addressed first.
This means
taking our set of
rules a notch
higher by making
violations against
the "Speak
English" policy a
major offense.
Initiation of
Public Speaking
Activities
Adding more
events such as
interclass debate
competitions
where all
students can get
involved will be
a stepping stone
for our campus'
being an English
speaking
environment.
Introduction of
the Peer Help
English Club
We believe that
aside from the
usual classroom
setting, a club
that is open to all
which would be
for those who
want to practice
using the
English language
will help us
achieve our goal.
Strengthening
of the No
Exception Rule
The last and
probably the
most crucial step
is to establish a
rule for
everyone. This
would not only
include the
students, but also
teachers and
other staff
members.

As made evident by the data provided above, our group is elated to say that a majority of the Johnian
Community is supportive of the English Language. More than 95% in all cases had answered considerately
in the process. In all questions, most of the responses are positive and are in line with what we had hoped
for. On the simplest level, this meant that we would not be having much difficulty in implementing this
social change project. All it would take is a little bit more of effort to fully attain our goal of turning the
Johnian Community into a confident English speaking milieu. This data can be further expounded by the
files that we had attached. Please feel free to consult them.

C. Rationale
n our 14 years of studying at SJI, we had witnessed first-hand our school’s way of lovingly molding
each and every student into becoming the best person they can be. We have been made to grow
holistically, developing every aspect of ourselves along the way. Now, as graduates of St. John’s
Institute, we can wholeheartedly say that we are achievers in our own fields; and we would never be who
we are without the help of our beloved Alma Mater. However,in all our years,we can also point out some
flaws in the school’s system. Although they are superficial, once they are corrected, the impact of that
modification would surely be significant. We feelthat it is our duty to the school and to the younger batches
to correct one of these flaws.
As stated in the abovementioned information, the imperfection that we would like to correct is the
lack ofrespect for our school’s English-Speaking Policy. Throughout the years,we have witnessed how
the teachers have stressed the importance of speaking English to the students. We would always hear the
words, “Speak English at all times,” inside the classroom, during the morning assembly and during the line
formation after recess and lunch time. However, we have also noticed that no matter how many times this
policy is mentioned or applied, both students and teachers fail to follow it.
Students are all too comfortable with speaking to each other in the Ilonggo dialect or Hiligaynon,
and conversing with their teachers in the aforementioned language. We, ourselves, are guilty of this act.
However, our Social Change Project for our Empowerment Technology class has given to us the
opportunity to right what is wrong. Through this project, we wish to show the SJI community the
importance of speaking English and how being fluent in the English language can help them in their daily
lives. As advocates ofthe English language,we will do our best to raise enthusiasm and appreciation
for it. Our aim is make the act of speaking English not just a policy, but a habit.

II. Planned Response
A. Vision
a.) Long Term Goals
Generally, our long term goal for this social change output is to be able to empower Johnians. This
may sound simple and all, but at the end of the line, this will not only exclusively benefit the Johnian
community, but will also do well for the society at large. Our group believes that by tapping into every
single Johnian regarding his/her use of the English language, we do something good for them that they can
benefit from not only for the time being, but one that will last as long as they live. This includes their being
confident in using the global language which will open doors for their future. This could be something
related to further studies such as college and could even go as far as becoming future leaders of the world.

b.) Short Term Goals
1. Help the students succeed in their academics- to be specific, in their English Subject
2. Be able to influence the younger ones by marketing the English language
3. See improvement in the school system’s flaws by implementing a stricter rule for the “Speak
English Only” Policy
4. Establish more English-related clubs or activities to be able to enhance the students’ skills in using
the English language
5. Be considered not only as a disciplined and God-centered institution, but also one that is a globally
competitive foundation as we had become a full and exclusive English-speaking campus
B. Key Message
A wise man once said (Wilhelm von Humboldt), “Language is the infinite use of finite
means.” This language that he talked about is one that is universal and known to most of
humankind- the English Language. It may be complex, but learning it is beautiful. More so,
perfecting it is like wine to the lips.

C. Beneficiaries
5
he beneficiaries which will primarily be the Elementary Level 2 and Junior High School
students of SJI are learners whom we believe are already equipped with the basic knowledge
that are needed relevant to our social change project. Based on our survey results, we can say
that at the most basic level, a majority of them had a positive response regarding this Social Change Project
of ours. 95.68% of the total surveyed population as shown in the aforementioned data claim to find English
as very important, quite easy, and crucial for their future. With these kind of results, the students have
shown high interest on our project. Aside from this proposition, we would also consider them as powerful
in our analysis as they are the main beneficiaries of the project.
Aside from the students alone, we would also like the teachers,staff members, and even those in
younger levels such as the Level 1 and Pre-elementary students to embrace the “Speak English” Policy that
we are initiating. We believe that if we wanted our school community to be truly an English Speaking
environment, we ought to consider even the most minor of members as well. We think that this would also
be a good alternative especially because involving Level 1 students would mean teaching them at an early
age. We believe that this will help them adapt the habit of speaking English faster compared to when we
begin the strict process at Level 2 or even Level 3 perhaps. To sum it all up, our group describes the
beneficiaries, which are mainly the students, as high power and high interest stakeholders. We are able to
say this as the results that we had gathered from both the initial survey and the personal interviews give us
the idea that they are so.

It has been distinct in this scheduled chart that what we aim to attain is achievable. Therefore,
making this social change project of ours valid and concrete.
It is a renowned core value of St.
John’s Institute (SJI) to promote cultural
integration, making the speaking of the English language a method to promote cultural integration here in
school. Proficiency in the English language is integral to the school’s history, in which learning English
takes place since kindergarten. Conversations between teachers,parents,classmates,and friends are in the
form of English. But as time goes on, students neglect to follow the cultural practice which was inherited
long ago. Some elementary students tend not to follow the policy by speaking English, while speaking in
vernacular or other languages, rather. According to some elementary students, it is due to the observations
of students that most students, especially in higher grade levels actively speak in dialect. This case of not
speaking the English language is much worsenin the junior high school. High school students do not follow
the said policy because of the belief that speaking English would ruin their image, while speaking in dialect
gives stronger influence towards peers. The neglecting of the English language occurs then. But according
to our conducted survey, 95.8% of the students surveyed agree that the English Speaking Policy should be
followed. These students see the importance of speaking English and how likely it has to be appreciated.
The English language is an integral part of our lives, therefore,making English language the initial subject
we aim to achieve in this social change project.

VI. Monitoring and Evaluation
ne approach that our group would like to take in order to monitor and evaluate the progress of
the Social Change Project that we had initiated is through the most basic and accessible tool that
we have at our disposal- communication. Communicating with both the teachersandthe students
themselves not in a form of interrogation about whether they practiced the “Speak English” Policy or not,
but ratherin a method of a conversation. We would like to do this because we believe that this is the simplest
way to find out about their progress in using the English Language. Just like how the famous saying goes,
“A fish is caught by the mouth,” we think that by initiating chats in English and evaluating our subjects’
responses,we would not only be able to see how our project us working, but we also get to contribute to its
growth and its development.
In line with this, our group hopes that we will be able to reach both our short-term and long-term
goals, as being able to do so would not only fulfill our main purpose, but would also spark another one’s in
each and every Johnian in the community.
