 Lesson Understanding the Language of
1 Research

What I Need To Know

At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
● get information that observes the language of research, advocacy, and
campaign ;
● accomplish a social problem chart considering the qualities of the
research language; and
● exhibit the importance of appropriate language to be utilized in research
writing.

What’s In
Directions: Study the posters below and answer these questions:
1. What message does the posters convey?
2. Is the message relevant to you? Why or why not?
3. What do you think should be done to address the issue presented?
4. How important is research study?

What’s New
Directions: Read the news article carefully and answer the questions that follow.

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, October 1)— The overlaying of sand with
crushed dolomite boulders along a portion of Manila Bay will not help solve the
environmental problems and issues hounding the area, according to the University of
the Philippines’ Marine Science Institute.

4
 In a statement on Wednesday, the UP MSI warned that the use of the
controversial dolomite sand— a project in line with the bay’s rehabilitation program —
may pose possible health risks and threats to the marine environment.
The institute explained that dolomite sand grains are expected to erode, given
the conditions in coastal parts of Metro Manila during storm seasons. It said that even
with a presence of a breakwater, or an artificial structure built for protection from
waves, elevated seas and huge waves brought by weather disturbances can still
penetrate the baywalk.
―Sea levels that rise in our tropical seas yield the highest rates in the world,
about three to four times more than the global average of 3.3 mm/yr,‖ the UP MSI
said.
―Beach nourishment projects are not one-shot deals, especially for continuously
eroding shorelines... Hence, continuously replacing the sand will be expensive and will
not contribute to improving water quality in the Bay,‖ the institute added, noting that
erosion threat and poor water quality are the two major problems Manila Bay is
currently facing.
Aside from the environmental impact, the UP MSI said that the finer particles of
dolomite can be ―problematic‖— with prolonged dust inhalation seen to cause chronic
health effects to the public. These risks include discomfort in the chest, shortness of
breath, and coughing.
The Health Department earlier said that the dolomite dumped along the stretch
in Roxas Boulevard cannot cause adverse health effects, since the product is not small
enough to be inhaled.
A recently-published report by the Environment Department also showed that
the dolomite sand in Manila Bay is not classified as hazardous, as tests done on its
samples did not exceed the limits set in the agency’s Revised Procedures and
Standards for the Management of Hazardous Wastes.
(2020, CNN Philippines)
Answer the questions briefly:
1. What is a dolomite?
2. What environmental problem is referred to in the news article?
3. What health hazards brought about by the use of dolomite as mentioned in
this article?
4. Should the government consider a research –based environmental projects?
5. How crucial is it to conduct a research before doing any plan of action?

DAY 2
Research is a systematic way of investigating. Oftentimes, it is noted to be a
difficult or challeging academic writing for students like you. The same is true with
those professionals who are also making their own research works. Nothing really
comes easy when you are writing a research. However, acquainting yourself with the
language of research will make you understand how research works.
Firstly, its nature is to investigate or discover something relevant. Basically, it
starts with asking a question. For example, What are the impacts of Learning Delivery

5
Modalities adapted by the school to Junior High School Grade 10 students’
performance?
Secondly, it gathers data or necessary information for the study through
conducting a survey, a case study, an interview, or a documentary.
Thirdly, it presents the data and information gathered using graphic organizers.
Fourthly, it analyzes the data and information gathered. Then, it assesses or
validates the results.
Lastly, it concludes and provides recommendations for those who would
continue or pursue a similar topic.

What’s New
Directions: Read the excerpt, Values Promoted by TV by Harry J. Skornia. Do the
activities that follow.
Values Promoted by T.V.
by Harry J. Skornia

On television, the mediocre and the great appear side by side. Singing
commercials are heard more than great music. Pressed by television, the other media
adopt this same approach. Starving children and cigarette models face each other in
color. The coexistence of the cheap, the vulgar, the violent, and the sacred, gives the
impression of almost complete valuelessness. The danger in this is the listener or
viewer himself who grows indifferent. As broadcasting does not discriminate between
options, the listener/ viewer also becomes indiscriminating.

If television can be said to have any values at all, it is those of the salesmen, big
businessmen, manufacturers, and showmen who control it --- mostly materialistic
values. And like those who control it, television shuns everything which does not fit in
with these values.

Televisions extols the spender. He is portrayed by the stars. He buys

everything. He knows that it is a duty to free enterprise to spend, rather than to save.
Unlike the networks, which use the same films year after year, he is told to throw
away the old and buy the new. Whether he needs a product or not, if he is not to be a
saboteur of our economic system, he must buy. This value is used as a lever in

10
various ways, affecting even the respect of son for mother or vice versa. If children do
not spend on mother on Mother’s Day, they obviously do not love her. Affection or
loyalty, like success, is measured in dollars.

The saboteur of our economy is the tightwad father who wants to use the old
car another year, or who objects to rapidity with which items are made obsolete. Since
it is believed that fathers most often exercise a restraining hand on spending,
television programs ridicule such fathers as much as possible and hero-worship the
woman, who spends more readily.

Based on the selection, match the words in column A with their synonymns in
column B.

Column A Column B

1. mediocre A. destroyer

2. extol B. gentle

3. vulgar C. laugh at

4. saboteur D. lousy

5. ridicule E. offensive

F. to praise

Answer the questions briefly:

1. What values have been promoted on TV as mentioned in the essay
excerpt?
2. How are these values shown on TV? Cite examples
mentioned in the essay?
3. What does the writer strongly believe about what TV can do?
4. Does the writer support these values promoted on TV? Explain.
5. Can TV be used to promote one’s advocacy? How?

Advocacy – is the act or process of supporting a cause or proposal. It comes from

what you think or believe is worthy for your support.

Advocacy generally involves speaking and acting with the intention of affecting or
changing specific policies or ideas. This may occur in any settings: governmental,
health, social, and legal among others.This change can be promoted thoughout
various social and government levels or applied --businesses and schools for example.

Some of the many types of advocacy to enact change include:

 Express an Issue- usually regarding a specific political campaign, letting the

public know that they should vote a certain way
 Budget Advocacy- all about transparency in how all levels of the government
spend their budget, usually to ensure that voters can see how money is divided
between certain groups of people in need
 Federal Advocacy- targeting the state legislators to push for certan change

11
  Bureaucratic or Professional Advocacy- Professionals in the field who work
more methodically and academically in presenting their ideas to policy makers
 Mass Advocacy-organized and orchestrated through large groups(i.e. polls,
protesters)
 Media Advocacy-using media as the primary means to promotes a specific
cause
 Health Advocacy- supporting the rights of patients and improving the
community of people who care about patients
 Self-advocacy- motions taken by individuals to support their own rights in
the workplace , school, etc.

Campaign- an organized course of action to achieve a goal. It can also be likened to

promoting or endorsing a certain belief or advocacy.

Advocacy and campaign are never the same; however, they are closely related to each
other. Advocacy can be compared to a goal and campaign is the manner you are
going to achieve the goal. Their language may share a few commonalities:

 Both are persuasive in nature.

 They are based on facts to establish credibility.
 They use appealing or emotive words.
 They foster change or improvement.
 Both formal and informal language may be applied (depending on the
audience or the subject).

What I Can Do

PERFORMANCE TASK:

You were the president of a youth organization in your barangay. As a youth

organization president, you would feel that in this time of pandemic there would be a
need to rekindle the spirit and hope of your fellow youth in the advocacy you have
started. You were also limited to do outdoor activities as an organization because of
the prevailing restrictions of going outside the house. You would want to revitalize the
advocacy through a campaign. Using your knowledge on the languge of research,
advocacies, and campaigns, make an advocacy campaign of your organization (a
balance of text and images, graphics, and or illustrations which can enhance the
content or message). It should be flexible that can be used both for print or electronic
(by using information platforms you are familiar with). Your advocacy campaign shall
be scored based on the given rubric below:
CONTENT - Relates to topic, detailed, and accurate 25 points

RESEARCH - Information from reputable sources 15 points

MEDIA - Backgrounds, illustrations, photographs, 10 points
