ALPHABET POEM















The ‘Spirit’ Behind 231


Acting indefatigable is what we see, it’s true
Behaving as if everyday starts life anew
Constructing strategies and
Digesting lessons after we chew
Explaining why George Bush is head over heels in love with you
Figuring out that there is more
Grab your materials now let us explore
Hovering us up to
Imagine things that there is life in reading
Juggling words in our minds we made poems in writing
Knitting sequences and realizing that we can chart
Letting you notice that this is all from the heart
Making us plain browsers to real readers
Numbering our learnings with our fingers for
Opening possibilities we owe
Passing the course… hoping not a "NO"
Questioning and
Rebuking
Sends chills in the 231’s
Telling us that there really is a big chance of
Unnerving the topics by
Visualizing what’s into stories and
Weeding out details for priced glories. So what you’re
EXpecting this petite teacher can do ?
Yielding us into pro’s and
Zoning us the luckiest, too.



An acrostic ALPHABET  poem in a couplet rhyming dedicated to one person of monumental importance!! Prof. Concesa P. Lagare, you surely made me become what I am now...

On Teaching Japanese Language

Foreign language learning is experiential. It ferries learners on a big bus ride where they may ‘see’ more along the way rather than what they benefit upon reaching their destination. Teachers should see it as pragmatic, valuing the content of their course- seeking and reflecting on why they need to learn the language and what they need to learn in the language. My experience for five years on different classroom settings and different cognitive levels of learners gave me the nudge to go FUNCTIONAL. I always tell my students the old adage of linguists, ‘the language you use is the language you know’..For what better way can we really assess the competence of our learners if they cannot use it outside the four corners of their ‘warm’ yet predictable classroom. I put a challenge more on developing students’ lingual ability. As I entered Graduate School (as a student in Language Teaching), my practice and beliefs were strengthened. I was no adherent of the Grammatical approach, not that

LEARNING

THE REAL ESSENCE OF LEARNING On the last meeting in our Philosophy of Man class, my first day of pondering began. I never thought that at the very last hour the ultimate LEARNING would come. It was so strong that it still remained resounding in my heart up to now. My usual idea of "just-read-and-you'll-never-fail-the-course" attitude paved the way for me to rummage on books at the Ateneo library. The question of "Why Philosophy?" was more of a question to be answered rather than a topic to be discussed. "Why do I need to take this course when I had it in College before?", was a reluctance I have to abide. Days passed and our supposed "journey" has to conclude. Since I swam over the vast ocean of PHILOSOPHY and "learned" about great philosophers, their precise philosophies, I presumed it was adequate enough to close the books. Our teacher then asked, "Who am I?" Everyone was quiet. After that, she associated this q
