hk blues Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 1 hour ago, bows00 said: I haven't read through the entire thread (and yes, my reading comprehension skills are ok), but do you think part of the reason is because the classes in the Philippines are taught in English, and for most students, English is their second language? But, if they were being taught in English then wouldn't their English skills be as strong as their 1st language? Anyhow, i don't believe classes are all taught in English - previous posts suggest it is mixed depending on location. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clermont Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 18 hours ago, Tommy T. said: I decided not to shut up after all... sorry Clermont... What a pity. If you all decide to read the decree properly and follow the commerce side you will understand that only English is taught for this and that includes teacher's. Mike J is correct with his input and I do apologize but in the decree I read a few years ago, it stated only English was taught, I see they have set down guidelines for teaching. Thanks', Mike J this is what the forum is all about, learning and being corrected so other OP's can learn, not another Facebook page where garbage is talked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 I have just read an article about English proficiency in Asia using 2018 IELTS scores - the Philippines came 2nd! So, it seems that the level of English here isn't so bad after all...? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
