  • Tagalog Author: Valeria Malabonga
    Heritage Voices: Language - Tagalog Author: Valeria Malabonga About the Tagalog Language Tagalog is a language spoken in the central part of the Philippines and belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian language family. Tagalog is one of the major languages in the Philippines. The standardized form of Tagalog is called Filipino. Filipino is the national language of the Philippines. Filipino and English are the two official languages of the Philippines (Malabonga & Marinova-Todd, 2007). Within the Philippines, Tagalog is spoken in Manila, most of central Luzon, and Palawan. Tagalog is also spoken by persons of Filipino descent in Canada, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the United States, large numbers of Filipino immigrants live in California, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Texas, and Washington (Camarota & McArdle, 2003). According to the 2000 US Census, Tagalog is the sixth most spoken language in the United States, spoken by over a million speakers. There are about 90 million speakers of Tagalog worldwide. Bessie Carmichael Elementary School/Filipino Education Center in San Francisco, California is the only elementary school in the United States that has an English-Tagalog bilingual program (Guballa, 2002). Tagalog is also taught at two high schools in California. It is taught as a subject at James Logan High School, in the New Haven Unified School District (NHUSD) in the San Francisco Bay area (Dizon, 2008) and as an elective at Southwest High School in the Sweetwater Union High School District of San Diego. At the community college level, Tagalog is taught as a second or foreign language at Kapiolani Community College, Honolulu Community College, and Leeward Community College in Hawaii and Sacramento City College in California.

  • Language Specific Peculiarities Document for Tagalog As Spoken In
    Language specific peculiarities Document for Tagalog as Spoken in the Philippines 1. Dialects Tagalog is spoken by around 25 million1 people as a first language and approximately 60 million as a second language. It is the local language spoken by most Filipinos and serves as a lingua franca in most parts of the Philippines. It is also the de facto national language of the Philippines together with English. Although officially the name of the national language is "Filipino", which has Tagalog as its basis, the majority of Filipinos are unaccustomed, even unaware, of this naming convention. Practically speaking, the name "Tagalog" is used by many Filipinos when referring to the national language. "Filipino", on the other hand, is rather ambiguous and, it must be said, carries nationalistic overtones2. The population of Tagalog native speakers is primarily concentrated in a region that covers southern Luzon and nearby islands. In this project, three major dialectal regions of Tagalog will be presented: Dialectal Region Description North Includes the Tagalog spoken in Bulacan, Bataan, Nueva Ecija and parts of Zambales. Central The Tagalog spoken in Manila, parts of Rizal and Laguna. This is the Tagalog dialect that is understood by the majority of the population. South Characteristic of the Tagalog spoken in Batangas, parts of Cavite, major parts of Quezon province and the coastal regions of the island of Mindoro. 1.1. English Influence The standard Tagalog spoken in Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is also considered the prestige dialect of Tagalog. It is the Tagalog used in the media and is taught in schools.

  • Teaching Critical Vocabulary to Filipino Heritage Language Learners
    education sciences Article Teaching Critical Vocabulary to Filipino Heritage Language Learners Jayson Parba Department of Indo-Pacific Languages and Literatures, University of Hawai’i at Manoa,¯ Honolulu, HI 96822, USA; [email protected] Abstract: Engaging in critical dialogues in language classrooms that draw on critical pedagogical perspectives can be challenging for learners because of gaps in communicative resources in their L1 and L2. Since critically oriented classrooms involve discussing social issues, students are expected to deploy “literate talk” to engage in critiquing society and a wide range of texts. Although recent studies have explored teachers’ and students’ engagement with critical materials and critical dia- logues, research that explores language development in critical language teaching remains a concern for language teachers. In this paper, I share my experience of fostering language development, specif- ically the overt teaching of critical vocabulary to students of (Tagalog-based) Filipino language at a university in Hawai’i. Through a discussion of racist stereotypes targeting Filipinos and the impacts of these discourses on students’ lived experiences, the notion of “critical vocabulary” emerges as an important tool for students to articulate the presence of and to dismantle oppressive structures of power, including everyday discourses supporting the status quo. This paper defines critical vocabulary and advances its theoretical and practical contribution to critical language teaching. It also includes students’ perspectives of their language development and ends with pedagogical implications for heritage/world language teachers around the world. Keywords: critical vocabulary; critical language pedagogy; heritage language; Filipino Citation: Parba, J. Teaching Critical Vocabulary to Filipino Heritage Language Learners. Educ.

  • Exploring the Filipinization of the English Language in a Digital Age: an Identity Apart from Other World Englishes
    Exploring the Filipinization of the English Language in a Digital Age: An Identity Apart from Other World Englishes Orlyn Joyce D. Esquivel Central Luzon State University, the Philippines Abstract Since the colonization of the Americans, Filipinos have been using English as their second language and have been accustomed to using the language alongside local languages. The centuries of the extensive contact between American English and Filipino language raises questions pertaining language change and language identity. This paper reports the analysis of 60 selected tweets from Twitter individually, with the purpose of highlighting the distinctive features of Philippine English. The tweets were examined for lexical and grammatical features, alongside with the following linguistic features: graphology, syntax, and lexical semantics. The Language Drift Theory was used as a basis to explain the process of Filipinization. In giving light to the discussions, descriptive quantitative-qualitative research was employed. Results revealed the prominent lexical, grammatical, and linguistic features through tables and textual analyses, illustrated from the most to the least dominant linguistic elements. Specified comparative analyses were made to characterize the features of Philippine English as a dialect of International English with graphology, syntax, and lexical semantics as bases for the discussion. The researcher also had a native speaker as a key informant to support the details and provide nativized English translations. Keywords: English as a global language, world Englishes, Philippine English, language drift, applied linguistics Introduction Present-day English is a part of the lives of millions of people, and the multiple crucial roles it now fulfills. According to Morrison (2002), with an estimated 350 million native speakers and 1.9 billion competent speakers, the spread of the English language around the world over the last few decades has been swift and steady.

  • Children's and Young Adults' Judgment of Native-Accented And
    International Journal of Language and Linguistics Vol. 3, No. 5; November 2016 Children’s and Young Adults’ Judgment of Native-accented and Foreign-accented Filipino Speakers Fhadzralyn L. Aidil-Karanain, Ph.D. Instructor 1 Western Mindanao State University Zamboanga City, Philippines Abstract This study conducted two experiments to determine Tausug Children’s and Young Adults’ language judgment on native- accented and foreign- accented Filipino speakers and if age affects the participants’ judgment. In experiment one, both groups chose the native accented speakers over foreign-accented speakers. Age affected their choices. Young adults better identified and had higher preference for native speakers than children. In experiment 2, age did not affect the participants’ judgment. The findings proved participants take behavioral information rather than linguistic group affiliation information and accent. They all chose the nice foreign-- accented speakers. It can be concluded that age did not affect the participants’ judgment. Both groups acknowledged the importance of Filipino as a national language and an official language, they were quick in discerning one’s group belongingness through accent, yet this did not contribute to their choices across trials since they consistently preferred nice foreign-accented Filipino speakers (Tausug). Key Words: sociolinguistics, language judgment, Tausug, Filipino speakers, accent. 1. Introduction In sociolinguistics, the concept of language has evolved from a means of communication to a potent social force that shapes ones personal and social uniqueness. More often than not, one’s personality, social status, and intelligence is judged based on the way one articulates language—grammar, vocabulary, intonation, pronunciation, and accent. Language behavior can be considered as a product of group factors on the individual level, similarly language behavior at the group level can be regarded as a product of individual language behavior (Arnarsdóttir, 2012).
