training is all we need....
how come our lolo's and lola's are very well verse in english? its because they were trained in the school. and it is the only dialect used for communication

i even wonder how fast my 5yr old kid adopt the english dialect compaired to her classmates. its because i dont allow her to speak in bisaya. its not that i dont want bisaya but i know she will be able to learn the dialect to on her own with her friends.

Based on my 3 yrs experience in the call center industry, in speaking, Americans dont really mind if the sentence is constructed incorrectly, whats important to them is the accent.. in writing ofcourse it has to be structured gramatically,. no excuses

I think it's not like that. Americans don't mind your accent, but as long as they make sense on what you converse to them then it's a point!

Having such good and nice and decent access without sentence construction/sensible argumentation is still referred as a bad conversation.

Are we talking about real ENGLISH or American english ? Maybe some Pidgin english ?

[trickyboy]

As I can see in the topic it's referring to "GENERAL ENGLISH" .... "AMERICAN ENGLISH" to exemplify on the arguments.

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

SO general english now is = American english ?

[trickyboy]

I haven't said the word "equal" but I said "to exemplify" ....

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

I haven't said the word "equal" but I said "to exemplify" ....

It awas just a question TRICKY kay u said about general english is American english ..... why cant we exemplify Pidgin English , British English , Australian English ? FEEC FAFA !!

[trickyboy]

Where could I have posted that General English = American English? I think I haven't posted that.

As I can recall I was just trying to connect the previous example (in which they exemplified American English).

Shall we try it in British or Aussie English?

[SPRINGFIELD_XD_40]

Ok I got ur post misunderstood .... got it now " exemplified " only .

So how do you write english in BRIT or Aussie style ? Will it be the factor of words utilize because as far I know accent ra man gyud na magdaog ... You cant just type ARSE or MATE and claim it Brit or Aussie respectively .

DepEd has invested the lion’s share of its lion’s share budget in the so-called cyber-education that aims to “modernize” schools. Believing that equipments alone can put across lots of information to young tabula rasas, educators tend to obscure the fact that time and resources also counts in students’ learning.

Unsaon kaha pagpahimulos sa cyber-education kun ang oras sa pagtuon og mahinungdanong butang, ma-dilute lang ngadto sa walay hinungdan nga subjects sama sa Filipino? With the globalized economy, it is high time to revise students curriculum unto what could really provide the impetus. This means adding more teaching time for english, science, and mathematics. Non-sensical and simplistic Filipino (actually tagalog) must be abolished.
