55% of the Philippines population speaks English sounds low, right? or does it.. (allegedly) only 78% of people speak English in the US still a difference, sure. but waay smaller than i expected for an Asian country, right? this became real when i visited my team in the Philippines back in June other Asian countries? English was a coin toss for a native and if they did, it was pretty elementary but the Philippines was a different ball game everyone spoke great English so i went detective mode and dug deeper turns out, their public schools? All in English every textbook. every class i don't have to settle for Google Translate convos with my team but i still make sure to vet for it an English test is one of our first application steps i am still impressed with how good some are (i even score higher than mine) language was created as a bridge for communication and communication is foundational to a good organization English skills are non-negotiable for my team fortunately, i don’t have to compromise by working with Filipinos. follow me for more stuff on hiring from the Philippines -Zack

Speaking with western slang is not being proficient in English. It's called sounding intelligent. Speaking in English requires other party to be understood. As long as both parties communicate and understood each other, there will be no conflicts. Accent is a way different nationalities speak English and express themselves. They try their best to make themselves understood. Therefore, each accent is unique. It's also a way to distinguish where people came from. The difference between someone who try to sound intelligent and an accent, is how one is able to fake it and make it seems like they were educated overseas or perhaps born in western countries. Even among Europeans, they have accents as well, as long as they are understood by most people.

When I advocate for our school, speak to colleagues, families, staff or prospective students I am often celebrating the work in an immersive bilingual school. Quite rightfully, the questions are often around measuring or evaluating what impact (both positively and negatively) bilingual education has on a child. Our NAPLAN results over the last two years demonstrate that our teaching and learning programs in both English and Japanese are value adds to our students. Large scale research supports this but so to does our data. All data shared identifies performance above similar school and network averages. When you benchmark this data against the reality of our students learning all mathematics content in Japanese and having a large proportion of Japanese literacy alongside their English literacy it begins to dispel some of the mistruths around bilingual education. These results are a great reflection of our teaching staff and our work. Yes, there is more to do (isn’t there always?) but it gives great validation and an authentic opportunity to audit the validity of our bilingual immersion work at our school. Really proud of our staff and our work! 👌

“Your #English is excellent. You did not go to Malay school?” This was what my ex-colleague said to me. She thought I had learned English by going to an international school or studying outside Malaysia. The fact is, I never studied or worked outside Malaysia. I was born in Kuala Terengganu, and spent the first 12 years of my life there. I spoke Malay (particularly Terengganu dialect) at home and school! The only time I used English was in English class. I started learning English more extensively when I entered boarding school. There, I was exposed to other students who had much better English competency than me. I promised myself to learn until I could read English books from cover to cover. Three (3) strategies I used to learn English at school: ✅ Create a vocabulary notebook (always refer dictionary) ✅ Learn from English materials - books, magazines, songs, movie subtitles ✅ Learn from friend(s) who are better than me - ask and practice speaking. Learning a language takes years of learning and practice. But, you can do it! p/s: What language you’re learning next? #english #englishlearning #language #languagelearning #languageserviceprovider
