Why Do They Say That Our English Is Bad? (An Excerpt)

Grace M. Saqueton
English teachers in the Philippines often find themselves in a very frustrating situation-no matter how hard they
try to teach the rules of written English to their students, the students still commit errors in word order, word
choice, subject-verb agreement, tenses, prepositions, articles, punctuations, and the like. Teachers get
frustrated when they hear or read sentences such as “They decided to got married,” “What did the students
watched?” or “Ana go to the canteen.” It is also alarming because the rules that apply to these sentences are
supposedly simple rules that the students should have learned in grade school. Yet, here they are in college,
still committing those same errors. Teachers and linguists alike have sought and (probably) are still seeking for
ways and strategies to teach English effectively especially in the light of teaching English as a second
language or as a foreign language. Different research studies have been conducted and different theories
have been used to address the situation. One of the topics that the researchers have explored is the recurring
errors in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse of second language learners. They believe
that studying these recurring errors is necessary to address the supposed grammar problems of the Filipino
college students.

Why Do They Say That Our English Is Bad? (An Excerpt)

Common questions

The Cornell Method enhances learning by dividing the page into specific sections for cues, detailed notes, and summaries, which helps organize and reinforce information. For instance, one example uses the method to note terms like 'Magnetic Fields' with detailed notes and a summary, helping to solidify the understanding of how magnets attract metals . Another example highlights writing guiding questions such as 'Why did the empire fall?' in the cue column, detailed notes on the right, and a brief chapter summary, which aids in retaining and revisiting key information efficiently .

Theoretically, environmental stimulation is argued to foster creativity more than innate talent. Supporting evidence from cognitive psychology demonstrates that exposure to varied and stimulating environments can enhance creative capacities, as environmental factors pose challenges and provide stimuli that drive intellectual and creative engagement .

Caffeine consumption is shown to enhance cognitive performance in puzzle-solving tasks. Participants who drank caffeinated beverages solved puzzles more quickly than those who consumed caffeine-free beverages, indicating that caffeine may stimulate brain activity that enhances problem-solving efficiency .

The composition of insulation materials significantly affects their heat retention capabilities. An experimental report found that wool-insulated containers retained the most heat compared to other materials, suggesting that wool's properties, such as its fibrous texture and ability to minimize heat exchange, make it highly effective for insulation purposes .

Teaching English in the Philippines as a second language involves addressing recurring grammatical errors in phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and discourse. Despite efforts to teach English effectively, students persistently make errors in basic grammar rules. This suggests that a deeper linguistic understanding and tailored teaching methodologies are essential to improve proficiency and overcome these persistent challenges .

Studies indicate that longer sleep durations improve memory performance. For example, an experiment observed that students with 9 hours of sleep performed significantly better on memory tasks compared to those with varied sleep schedules . This suggests a positive correlation between extended sleep and cognitive functions related to memory retention.

An experiment tested the effects of sugar intake on academic performance, concluding that a low-sugar snack resulted in better math quiz scores than a high-sugar snack. This suggests that reduced sugar intake may prevent the negative cognitive effects associated with sugar, allowing for improved academic performance .

Media literacy is posited as essential for political stability in democratic governments because informed citizens are crucial to effective democratic participation. By understanding media content critically, citizens can make informed decisions, thereby fostering a stable political environment where democratic processes function more effectively .

Stricter gun regulations are argued to reduce violent crime by providing comparative analyses from countries with differing policy levels. The author claims that the correlation between regulation and crime reduction is supported by such analyses, suggesting that more stringent control could lead to lower crime rates .

The theorist posits that language shapes thought, suggesting a fundamental influence on how individuals perceive reality. This perspective is supported by the argument that linguistic structures lead people to experience the world differently based on language, implying that language is not merely a communication tool but a lens through which human cognition is filtered and shaped .
