THE FRAMEWORK

K to 12 Curriculum Guide version as of December 2012 – ENGLISH 2

I. PHILOSOPHY AND RATIONALE
Language is the basis of all communication and the primary instrument of thought. Thinking, learning, and language
are interrelated. It is governed by rules and systems (language conventions) which are used to explore and communicate
meaning. It defines culture which is essential in understanding oneself (personal identity), forming interpersonal
relationships (socialization), extending experiences, reflecting on thought and action, and contributing to a better society.
Language, therefore, is central to the peoples’ intellectual, social and emotional development and has an essential role in
all key learning areas1.
Language is the foundation of all human relationships. All human relationships are established on the ability of
people to communicate effectively with each other. Our thoughts, values and understandings are developed and
expressed through language. This process allows students to understand better the world in which they live and
contributes to the development of their personal perspectives of the global community. People use language to make
sense of and bring order to their world. Therefore, proficiency in the language enables people to access, process and
keep abreast of information, to engage with the wider and more diverse communities, and to learn about the role of
language in their own lives, and in their own and other cultures.
II. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
The K-12 Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum is anchored on the following language acquisition, learning,
teaching and assessing principles.
All languages are interrelated and interdependent. Facility in the first language (L1) strengthens and supports the
learning of other languages (L2). Acquisition of sets of skills and implicit metalinguistic knowledge in one language
(common underlying proficiency or CUP) provides the base for the development of both the first language (L1) and the
second language (L2)2. It follows that any expansion of CUP that takes place in one language will have a beneficial effect

on the other language(s). This principle serves to explain why it becomes easier and easier to learn additional
languages.
Language acquisition and learning is an active process that begins at birth and continues throughout life. It is
continuous and recursive throughout students’ lives. Students enhance their language abilities by using what they know
in new and more complex contexts and with increasing sophistication (spiral progression). They reflect on and use prior
knowledge to extend and enhance their language and understanding. By learning and incorporating new language
structures into their repertoire and using them in a variety of contexts, students develop language fluency and
proficiency. Positive learning experiences in language-rich environments enable students to leave school with a desire to
continue to extend their knowledge, skills and interests.
Learning requires meaning3. We learn when we use what we know to understand what is new. Start with what the
students know; use that to introduce new concepts. They use language to examine new experiences and knowledge in
relation to their prior knowledge, experiences, and beliefs. They make connections, anticipate possibilities, reflect upon
ideas, and determine courses of action.
Learners learn about language and how to use it effectively through their engagement with and study of texts.
The term ‘text’ refers to any form of written (reading and writing), oral (listening and speaking) and visual
communication involving language4. The texts through which students learn about language are wide-ranging and
varied, from brief conversations to lengthy and complex forms of writing. The study of specific texts is the means by
which learners achieve the desired outcomes of language, rather than an end in itself. Learners learn to create texts of
their own and to engage with texts produced by other people.
Successful language learning involves viewing, listening, speaking, reading and writing activities and accuracy5.
Language learning should include a plethora of strategies and activities that helps students focus on both MEANING and
ACCURACY.
Language learning involves recognizing, accepting, valuing and building on students’ existing language
competence, including the use of non-standard forms of the language, and extending the range of language
available to students. Through language learning, learners develop functional and critical literacy skills. They learn to
control and understand the conventions of the target language that are valued and rewarded by society and to reflect on
and critically analyze their own use of language and the language of others.

An effective language arts and multiliteracies curriculum satisfies the following principles6.
1. develops thinking and language through interactive learning;

2. develops communicative competence and critical literacy;
3. draws on literature in order to develop students’ understanding of their literary heritage;
4. draws on informational texts and multimedia in order to build academic vocabulary and strong content knowledge;
5. develops students’ oral language and literacy through appropriately challenging learning;
6. emphasizes writing arguments, explanatory/informative texts and narratives;
7. provides explicit skill instruction in reading and writing;
8. builds on the language, experiences, knowledge and interests that students bring to school;
9. nurtures students’ sense of their common ground as present or future global citizens and prepares them to participate in
schools and in civic life, and;
10. assesses and reflects the students’ ability to interpret and/or communicate in the target language7.
I. NEEDS OF THE LEARNERS : THE CONTEXT
The generation born after the year 1994 until 2004 is referred to as Generation Z. This is the first generation to be born
with complete technology. They were born with PCs, mobile phones, gaming devices, MP3 players and the ubiquitous
Internet. They do not know life without technology. Hence, they are often termed as digital natives and are extremely
comfortable with technology. They can email, text and use computers without any problems. In addition, members of
Generation Z can understand and master advancement in technology. Unfortunately, this reliance on technology and
gadgets has had a negative effect on the members. They rather stay indoors and use their electronics than play outdoors
and be active. They are leading a sedentary life that can result in health problems later on.
For them, social media platforms are a way to communicate with the outside world. They are not bothered about privacy
and are willing to share intimate details about themselves with complete strangers. They have virtual friends and for them

hanging out with friends means talking to them over the cell phones, emails and text messages. However, at the same
time, this generation is considered to highly creative and collaborative and will have a significant impact on the way
companies work when they join the workforce.
Members of Generation Z are adept at multi-tasking. They can text, read, watch, talk and even eat simultaneously.
However, this has also led to reduced attention span leading to what psychologists call acquired attention deficit
disorder. This generation is unable to analyze complex data and information as they cannot focus for very long.
While we don’t know much about Gen Z yet...we know a lot about the environment they are growing up in. This highly
diverse environment will make the grade schools of the next generation the most diverse ever. Higher levels of
technology will make significant inroads in academics allowing for customized instruction, data mining of student histories
to enable pinpoint diagnostics and remediation or accelerated achievement opportunities.
Gen Z kids will grow up with a highly sophisticated media and computer environment and will be more Internet savvy and
expert than their Gen Y forerunners.
I. OUTCOMES
The ultimate goal of the Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum is to produce graduates who apply the language
conventions, principles, strategies and skills in (1) interacting with others, (2) understanding and learning other content
areas, and (3) fending for themselves in whatever field of endeavour they may trudge.
1. Communicative Competence
Communicative Competence is a synthesis of knowledge of basic grammatical principles, knowledge of how language is
used in social settings to perform communicative functions, and knowledge of utterances and communicative functions
can be combined according to the principles of discourse.8
Communicative competence is classified into the following competencies.

8
Canale, M. and M. Swain. 1980. Theoretical bases of communicative approaches to second language teaching and testing. Applied Linguistics


1. Grammatical/Linguistic Competence means the acquisition of phonological rules, morphological words, syntactic
rules, semantic rules and lexical items.
2. Sociolinguistic Competence refers to the learning pragmatic aspect of various speech acts, namely, the cultural
values, norms, and other socio-cultural conventions in social contexts. They are the context and topic of discourse, the
participant’s social status, sex, age, and other factors which influence styles and registers of speech. Since different
situations call for different types of expressions as well as different beliefs, views, values, and attitudes, the
development of sociolinguistic competence is essential for communicative social action.
3. Discourse Competence is the knowledge of rules regarding the cohesion (grammatical links) and coherence
(appropriate combination of communicative actions) of various types of discourse (oral and written). Sociolinguistic
rules of use and rules of discourse are crucial in interpreting utterances for social meaning, particularly when the
literal meaning of an utterance does not lead to the speaker’s intention easily.
4. Strategic Competence is to DO with the knowledge of verbal and non-verbal strategies to compensate for
breakdown such as self-correction and at the same time to enhance the effectiveness of communication such as
recognizing discourse structure, activating background knowledge, contextual guessing, and tolerating ambiguity.
2. Multiliteracies
Multiliteracies (multi literacy practices) recognize that there are many kinds of literacy at work within our society. These
include traditional literacy practices using texts as well as new literacy practices using texts of popular culture such as
films. Social literacy encompasses how we communicate and exchange meaning in our society while professional
literacy links with the notion of literacy for school of the workplace.
The curriculum aims to help learners acquire highly-developed literacy skills that enable them to understand that
English language is the most widely used medium of communication in Trade and the Arts, Sciences, Mathematics, and
in world economy. Furthermore, the curriculum aims to help learners understand that English language is a dynamic
social process which responds to and reflects changing social conditions, and that English is inextricably involved with
values, beliefs and ways of thinking about ourselves and the world we dwell. Through multi-literacy skills, learners will be
able to appreciate and be sensitive to sociocultural diversity and understand that the meaning of any form of
communication depends on context, purpose and audience.


IV. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The world is now in the “Knowledge age” where the challenge of education is to prepare learners in the information drift and rapidly
changing world. Students in this age must be prepared to compete in a global economy, understand and operate complex
communication and information systems, and apply higher level thinking skills to make decisions and solve problems.
The Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (LAMC) addresses these needs. This is the rationale why Mother Tongue,
Filipino and English follow a unified framework which allows easy transition from acquiring and learning one language to another.
The curriculum has five (5) components. Each component is essential to the learners’ ability to communicate effectively in a
language leading them to achieve communicative competence and multiliteracies in the Mother Tongue, Filipino and English. The
diagram in the previous page shows that the heart and core of LAMC is making meaning through language and aims to develop
graduates who are communicatively competent and multiliterates.
Component 1 illustrates learning processes that will effect acquisition and learning of the language. It explains the HOW of
language learning and therefore serves as guiding principles for language teaching.
Component 2 describes knowledge and skill areas which are essential to effective language use (understanding of cultures,
understanding language, processes and strategies) which will be developed through language arts (macro-skills).
Component 3 shows the interdependence and interrelationships of the macro-skills of the language (listening, speaking and
viewing; reading, viewing and responding; writing and representing) and the development thinking skills (critical thinking, creative
thinking and metacognitiion) allowing students to make meaning through language.
Component 4 explains the holistic assessment of the Language Arts and Literacy Curriculum which serves as feedback of its
effectiveness to students, teachers, school administrators, and curriculum developers.
COMPONENT 2: Language Learning Process


For effective language acquisition and learning to take place, language teachers must be guided of the six (6) language teaching
principles. These principles explain the natural process of language development.
1. Spiral Progression
Skills, grammatical items, structures and various types of texts will be taught, revised and revisited at increasing levels of difficulty
and sophistication. This will allow students to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of language use.
2. Interaction
Language learning will be situated in the context of communication (oral and written). Activities that simulate real-life situations of
varying language demands (purposes, topics, and audiences) will be employed to help students interact with others thereby
improve their socialization skills.
3. Integration
The areas of language learning – the receptive skills, the productive skills, and grammar and vocabulary will be taught in an
integrated way, together with the use of relevant print and non-print resources, to provide multiple perspectives and meaningful
connections. Integration may come in different types either implicitly or explicitly (skills, content, theme, topic, and values
integration).
4. Learner-Centeredness
Learners are at the centre of the teaching-learning process. Teaching will be differentiated according to students’ needs, abilities
and interests. Effective pedagogies will be used to engage them and to strengthen their language development.
5. Contextualization
Learning tasks and activities will be designed for learners to acquire the language in authentic and meaningful contexts of use.
For example, lessons will be planned around learning outcomes, a theme, or a type of text to help learners use related language
skills, grammatical items/ structures and vocabulary appropriately in spoken and written language to suit the purpose, audience,
context and culture. Learning points will be reinforced through explicit instruction and related follow-up practice.
6. Construction
Making meaning is the heart of language learning and use. Learning tasks and activities will be designed for learners in such a
way that they will have time to reflect on and respond to ideas and information. Learners will be provided with sufficient
scaffolding so that they will be able to reach their full cognitive, affective, and psychomotor potentials and become independent
learners who are good consumers and constructors of meaning.
COMPONENT 3: Effective Language Use


There are three major applications of the macro-skills of the language (Understanding of Cultures; Understanding Language; and
Processes and Strategies). They are described as the knowledge and skill areas which are essential to effective language use
demonstrated through the language macro-skills.
1. UNDERSTANDING CULTURES. Learning language through text types and literary appreciation exposes learners to
different cultures of the world, including one’s culture. Learners develop sociolinguistic and sociocultural understandings and
apply them to their use of the language (Mother Tongue, Filipino, and English). Sociolinguistic understanding refers to
appropriate language use. It is defined in this document as taking into account the social significance of linguistic forms and the
linguistic implications of social facts. Language is a complex social practice that reflects and reinforces shared understandings
about appropriate actions, values, beliefs and attitudes within a community. These shared understandings determine not only
what is communicated and when and how it is communicated, but also who does the communicating. These collectively
constitute the sociolinguistic features of language.
Sociocultural understanding refers to knowing about the language speaking communities. It means taking into account the
non-linguistic features in the life of a society. Learners broaden their frame of reference beyond their own social and cultural
experiences. They gain insights into different values and belief systems and acknowledge the cultural contexts which underpin
them. They make sense of the social fabric of the target language community. They understand that the natural and physical
environments – as well as the social, economic, historical and political environments – influence the language speaking groups
and their cultural traditions.
2. UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE. Learners apply their knowledge of the system of the language to assist them to make meaning
and create meaning. They come to recognize the patterns and rules of the language which emerge as they interact with a
plethora of texts (literary and informational) to make meaning. They apply this knowledge and understanding to create their own
spoken, written and visual texts. Differences in language systems are expressed in a variety of ways: for example, in grammatical
differentiations, variations in word order, word selection, or general stylistic variations in texts. By comparing the system of the
language with the systems of other languages students understand that each language is different, but has identifiable patterns
within its own system.
3. PROCESS AND STRATEGIES. Learners select from a repertoire of processes and strategies by reflecting on their
understanding of the way language works for a variety of purposes in a range of contexts. They deliberate on how they use
language and apply different language strategies, depending on their purpose, context and audience. They use language as a
way of coming to grips with new ideas, resolving difficulties or solving problems. They use strategies such as brainstorming and
discussion as a way of developing ideas. They experiment, take risks and make approximations with language as a way of
developing their language skills. They clarify what they need to know when seeking information for particular purposes. They use
key-word searches and their understanding of the conventions of informational texts such as tables of contents, headings,


indexes, forewords and glossaries as aids in locating information. They assess the usefulness of information for particular
purposes. They treat information and ideas critically and evaluate information in terms of its reliability and currency. They make
notes and graphic representations of information and combine information from different sources into a coherent whole by
summarizing, comparing and synthesizing.
Learners reflect on ethical considerations in the use of ideas and information. They recognize the importance of attributing
sources of ideas and information, and of presenting or representing ideas and information in ways which are not misleading. They
use quotation and sourcing conventions appropriately. They take into account the possible effects of and responses to the
presentation of ideas and information.
COMPONENT 4: Making Meaning through Language
Language is the major instrument in communication (oral and written) and the heart of which is the exchange of meaning. Language
learning should focus on guiding students make meaning through language for different purposes on a range of topics and with a
variety of audiences. Students must be able to adapt to various situations where communication demands greatly vary.
The skills, grammatical items, structures and various types of texts will be taught, and revisited at increasing levels of difficulty
and sophistication. This design allows students to progress from the foundational level to higher levels of language use.
The Language Arts and Multiliteracies Curriculum (ELAMC) is composed of five (5) intricately intertwined and integrated sub-
strands (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing) that serve as building blocks for understanding and creation of meaning
and for effective communication across curricula (Matrix 1).
Coherence with the Basic Education Program Goals
1. The K-12 languages curriculum ensures that processes and products of learning actively foster and contribute to the
achievement of the basic education program goals.
2. Competencies are spiraled across the curriculum and year levels. Upper level courses will focus on writing, comprehension
and study strategies.


3. Content includes print and electronic texts that are age, context and culture appropriate.
