Examining the Impact of English Language Dominance on Filipino Language Fluency
In today's globalized world, English has become the dominant language in various aspects of life. However, this dominance can have unintended consequences for other languages, particularly in countries like the Philippines.
The survey, 'The English Language Dominance: An Impediment to the Filipino Language,' aims to delve into the challenges and consequences of English language dominance in the Philippines and how it hinders the growth and development of the Filipino language. This study provides valuable insights into a complex issue that affects the linguistic landscape of the country.
The survey explores three thought-provoking case study problems. The first problem analyzes the impact of English language dominance on Filipino language fluency, specifically by examining the correlation between the dominance of English in educational settings and its effect on the proficiency and usage of the Filipino language among students. The second problem investigates how the predominance of English in the education system affects the proficiency and usage of Filipino among students and proposes potential strategies to strike a balance between English and Filipino instruction. The third problem dives into whether the use of English in Filipino communities contributes to language shift or loss of proficiency in Filipino.
To gather insights, the survey includes a diverse set of questions covering various aspects of the issue. Participants can provide their perspectives on language choice in education, challenges faced by students in learning and using Filipino, the potential consequences of English language dominance, and the role of the government in addressing the issue.
The questionnaire includes single choice, multiple choice, and open-ended questions. Participants can select from predefined answers or express their thoughts and opinions freely. The goal is to capture a comprehensive range of ideas and experiences related to the topic.
The findings of this survey will provide valuable information for policymakers, educators, and language enthusiasts interested in preserving and promoting the Filipino language. By understanding the challenges posed by English language dominance, stakeholders can develop strategies to ensure the growth and development of both English and Filipino in harmony.
