Lesson 1: Observing the Language of Research and Advocacies

II. What’s In
Gone were the days when we cannot express ourselves freely. Today we have the
freedom of expression and can be advocates of good will. All we must do is to express our
ideas properly and with respect.
It is important for learners like you to have clear understanding of the different avenues
to convey information. Information needs to be factual and product of careful study and
evaluation. This is why research is very important to learn about. In dealing with the
language of research, you should be familiar with the terminologies that you would
encounter as you make your own research work. Let us see the following terms:
A. Questionnaire – a set of questions used to gather information in a survey.
Example: 1. How is the student’s profile described in terms of the following:
1.1 Age;
1.2 Sex;
1.3 Dialect; and
1.4 Available Reading Materials at home
2. Is there a significant relationship between students’ profile and reading
performance?
B. Selecting and limiting a research topic – select a topic of interest and narrowing down
complex topic into specific one.
C. Thesis Statement – a statement expressing the proposition, argument or view. It tells the
reader the main point or claim of the research paper.
Example:
Psychologists have argued for decades about how a person’s character is formed.
Numerous psychologists believe that one’s birth order (i.e. place in the family as the
youngest, oldest, or middle child) has the greatest influence. Birth order can have a
significant impact in the formation of a child’s character. Birth order can strongly
affect one’s relationship with parents, relationships with others, and how one views
responsibility as an adult.

D. Hedging - the use of linguistic devices to express hesitation or uncertainty as well as to

demonstrate politeness and indirectness. (Appear to be, Suggest, Believe, Think, Looks like,
Assume, Possibly)
Example:
Wrong: It is obvious that students never speak English outside class.
Hedging: The data in Figure 1 suggest that tertiary students tend not to speak English
very frequently outside class.
E. Cultural Mapping– describes the use of research methods, tools, and techniques to
identify, describe, portray, promote, and plan future use of particular regions’ or cities’
combined cultural assets and resources.
F. Interviewing– a conversational practice where knowledge is produced through the
interaction between an interviewer and an interviewee or group of interviewees.
2
G. APA (American Psychological Association) Style – is the most commonly used format
used to cite sources of information.
Author, Year of Publication, Title of Work, Location, Publisher
Calfee, R. C., & Valencia, R. R. (1991). APA Guide to Preparing Manuscripts for Journal
Publication. Washington, D.C: American Psychological Association.
H. Literature Review – part of research that provides a review of what others have written or
researched on concerning the topic.
Example:

Recent analyses (Dickinson et al., 2003) have made it abundantly clear that oral language skills
specifically vocabulary development, not only play a role in phonological awareness but also are critical skills
for the development of reading comprehension later on. Therefore, it is essential for quality indicators in early
childhood programs to recognize that oral language and vocabulary development is the foundation for all
other skills critical to successful reading.
I. Plagiarism – occurs when ideas, information and even pictures are used without proper
acknowledgement of the original source.

III. What’s New

Activity 1: Auto Recognition, activate!
Study the following examples below and identify the language of research shown in each item.

________________1. Tupas (2002) cited, Krasshan with Tarrel to say, that language acquisition
occurs in only one way by understanding messages. We acquire language when we understand
what we hear and understand, not what we say. The goal of language, classes according to this
view is to supply comprehensive input, which is the crucial ingredient acquisition, and to bring
the student to the point where he or she could understand the language outside the
classroom. When this happened, the acquirer can utilize the real world, as well as the
classroom for progress.
________________ 2. What are the reading miscues committed by the students?
________________ 3. According to De Joya (2005), it was clear that they endeavored on
formulating strategies to help pupils who are non-readers and low performers in class. It was
in this document that the value of human dignity is emphasized for it is believed so in “Every
Pupil, A Good Reader”. Its core strategy was to obtain the level of oral reading skills with
comprehension of the pupils through the concrete effort of school administrators and teachers.

the foremost planet for human colonization.

IV. What’s More
In dealing with research, campaigns, and advocacies, one should be mindful of the
language used. Not only in technicalities but also in the manner of delivery of messages.

Example:

 Issue or concern: Waste

 Background:

Roberto R. Romulo of Philippine Star said in his article dated July 5, 2019 that Philippines is a
leader of garbage. According to the government data, Philippines generates an estimated
43,684 tons of garbage daily. Due to lack of proper disposal facilities, combined with
indiscipline on the part of the public, garbage piles up.

In our school, garbage is also one of the leading environmental problems. Discipline in
properly disposing waste is a must in order to achieve zero-waste status of the school. Hence,
“Basura mo, I-uwi mo” campaign shall be done.

 Campaign: “Basura Mo, I-uwi Mo”.

 Objective: To help the school in reducing wastes especially plastic wastes and maintain
cleanliness at all times.

 Plan of Action:

 The campaign shall be introduced to students during the students’ assembly and other
social media platforms.
 The proponent shall be the one to discuss about the campaign and how is it going to be
implemented.
 Students will be required to bring with them their own eco bag with name and section (or
any recyclable bag) to be used for their wastes.
 Teachers, especially advisers shall be the ones to religiously check if each student is
bringing his/her own eco bag.
 After classes, no eco bag shall be put in the trash bins of the school. Students shall bring
their eco bags with them.
 Necessary disciplinary actions shall be given to violators.

V. Assessment
