The goals of bilingual education in the Philippines are to develop competence in both Filipino and English and further enrich Filipino as the national language.
product-oriented assessment
Product-oriented assessments evaluate student performance through products they create, such as completed projects. These products demonstrate their achievement of learning tasks and skills. Products can include works showing communication skills or physical abilities. Rubrics are used to evaluate student performance and proficiency levels on tasks. Competencies are linked to expertise shown in the product. Products are assessed at three levels - minimum specifications, additional skilled specifications, and expert level specifications involving aesthetics. Examples provided assess geometry shapes, scrapbooks, and typing outputs at these three levels.
Language policies in the philippines
A summary of the language policies in the Philippines from the Spanish regime down to the present time.
Language Policy in the Philippines and Legal Bases.pptx
This document discusses the language policy and legal bases of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. It provides the historical background of language policy from 1946 to 2004. It also outlines the key provisions in the Philippine Constitution and laws like the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 that establish Filipino and English as the official languages and mandate the use of mother tongue as the primary medium of instruction in kindergarten to grade 3. The document specifies the major languages to be offered in schools and clarifies the implementation of language learning areas from grades 1 to 2.
Sources of expected student learning outcome
The institution's mission statement and government education agency policies are prescribed sources for defining student learning expectations. Expected competencies from professions, businesses, and industries should also be adopted to ensure graduates can perform as expected in their workplaces. International trends and developments should be considered as well when identifying learning outcomes, to promote competitiveness of graduates abroad.
CHAPTER-3-Rules-of-Grammar.pptx
This document outlines six rules for teaching grammar: context, use, economy, relevance, nurture, and appropriacy. It discusses each rule in detail, providing explanations for why each rule is important, what each rule entails, and examples of how to apply each rule when teaching grammar. The overall message is that grammar should be taught in a meaningful, engaging context to facilitate language acquisition and use, rather than just memorization of rules. Students learn best when grammar concepts are relevant to their lives and more time is spent practicing application of the concepts.
status of Philippine English
This document discusses the development and characteristics of Philippine English. It began as a new variety of English that developed when colonial ties weakened and interethnic contact increased. Philippine English is characterized by the transfer of features from local languages like Tagalog into areas like pronunciation and grammar. While American English influences things like call centers and radio, other institutions have resisted foreign sounds and some advocate for standardizing Philippine English for academic purposes. The document also discusses how new words and usages spread through society and the importance of teaching students the contrasts between Philippine English and American English standards.
Error correction and feedback
The document discusses techniques for providing feedback and correcting errors in language learning. It identifies three types of corrections: self-correction where students correct themselves; student-to-student correction where students correct each other; and teacher correction. For self-correction, teachers can use techniques like repetition, echoing, questions or hints to subtly point out mistakes without telling students they are wrong. Student-to-student correction works well in cooperative classrooms but the original student must still be involved. Teacher correction is a last resort if students can't self-correct or correct each other. The document also addresses the difference between accuracy and fluency activities when deciding whether and how to correct errors.

K 12 english language arts curriculum conceptual framework
The document outlines a conceptual framework for education with 4 components: 1) language learning process using techniques like spiral progression and learner-centeredness, 2) effective language use including understanding cultures and language, 3) making meaning through language using oral/written communication macro-skills, and 4) holistic assessment with characteristics like proximity to performance and a holistic view of language.
Motivational and affective factors
Motivational and emotional factors influence learning by enhancing or interfering with cognitive processes and motivation. Students' beliefs about themselves and the nature of learning strongly impact motivation. Positive emotions like curiosity generally motivate learning, while mild anxiety can focus attention; however, intense negative emotions usually undermine motivation and performance. Intrinsic motivation is facilitated by tasks perceived as interesting, personally meaningful, at an appropriate difficulty level, and allowing choice and control. Educators can encourage curiosity and intrinsic motivation by attending to individual preferences and facilitating effort through purposeful, relevant activities that induce positive emotions.

Language Based Approach
This document discusses a language-based approach to teaching literature. The approach focuses on how specific uses of language in literary texts can improve students' understanding. Key aspects include imaginative and representational language uses, pedagogical value, and how readers understand texts based on linguistic organization. The approach works by analyzing repetition, equivalent words/phrases/images, unique language patterns, and tone/mood. Mastering the language of a text allows for broader understanding and interpretation. Pre-reading and post-reading activities are provided as examples to engage students with vocabulary and generate their own ideas based on what they've read.
Introduction to materials development
This document provides an overview of materials development for language teaching. It defines instructional materials and their roles in the classroom.

Factors like learners and context influence materials. Frameworks illustrate how goals, syllabus, and materials work together. The document outlines processes for designing, developing, and disseminating materials, as well as guidelines like curriculum mapping and scriptwriting.
Traditional assessment and non traditional assessment
Traditional assessments typically involve multiple choice, true/false, or matching questions and evaluate students through ranked scores and grades. They are reliable and easy to administer but encourage low-level thinking. Non-traditional assessments like performance and portfolio evaluations directly observe students' applied skills and require higher-order thinking. They integrate written and applied measures to demonstrate proficiency in real-world tasks and emphasize cooperation over competition. While traditional tests enhance learning through understanding, non-traditional assessments enhance learning by requiring students to communicate interconnections among concepts and procedures.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
