    The K to 12 English
    Curriculum Philosophy,
    Framework, and Rationale
    Objectives:

    - discuss the rationale of English education in the Philippines; and
    -develop your own understanding of teaching English in the elementary

    INTRODUCTION
    Republic Act 10533 entitled An Act Enhancing the Philippines basic
    Education System by strengthening its Curriculum and Increasing the
    Number of Years for Basic Education, Appropriating Funds Therefor and
    Other Purposes, also known us the Enhanced Basic Education Act of
    2013, firmly grounds the emplementation of the K to 12 Curriculum in
    the Philippines. In this lesson, you will learn about the K to 12 english
    curriculum framework, the philosophy behind it, and its rationale.
    -What made human civilization possible is language.
    -The K to 12 English Curriculum or the Language Arts and
    Multiliteracies Curriculum views language as the “ primary instrument
    of thought”, which we use to bring our ideas into the world around us
    and make meaning out of the human experience.
    -Rules of a language refer to the principles that govern word formation,
    syntax, pronunciation, and several other features of the language. It
    may also refer to the grammar or the so called “correct” or conventional
    forms of the language.
    -As language is used by people to convey everyday ideas, it also carries
    with it the culture of the people using it. Guessabi (2017) points out that
    “culture is a language itself.”
    -Learning a language therefore is not only to read, speak, and write in
    another language but to learn of another culture. This understanding of
    language also consequently comes with the understanding of society.
    -Such understanding in turn makes one understand ones’ self and
    establishes personal identity, wherein one can have a better grasp of
    one’s role in the community and in the larger society.
    -This view establishes language as the “foundation of human
    relationships” from which we draw meaning in life. The K to 12 English
    Curriculum recognizes of language as to make people come together.
    Learning a language establishes an understanding of the users of the
    language, opening the bigger world for the learners. Furthermore,
    greater understanding of the language also enables the learners to be
    functional contributor to the development of the community to which he
    or she belongs.
    The following principles guide the K to 12 English
    Curriculum:
    • All languages are interrelated and independent.
    • Language acquisition and learning is an active process that
    begins at birth and continues throughout life.
    • Learning requires meaning.
    • Learners learn about language and how to use it effectively
    through their engagement with and study of texts.
    • Successful language learning involves viewing, listening,
    reading, and writing activities.
    • Language learning involves recognizing, accepting, valuing,
    and building on learners’ existing language competence,
    including the use of nonstandard forms of the language, and
    extending the range of language available to learners’.
