]]> Comment on English Proficiency: Japan vs. the Philippines by Toni http://realityonastick.com/2007/07/09/english-proficiency-japan-vs-the-philippines/#comment-69130 Toni Mon, 04 Apr 2011 15:58:26 +0000 http://realityonastick.com/2007/07/09/english-proficiency-japan-vs-the-philippines/#comment-69130 I am currently a Filipina exchange student here in America, and I think the English skills I acquired from home are very, very helpful in my living here. I think the edge that Filipinos have on English proficiency is that we have an English-speaking environment, or should I say a bilingual environment. We have American TV programs, English advertisements, English media in general, and that has a big impact on a typical Filipino's life. We still do not forget the Filipino language though (absolutely!) because we speak it everyday at home and with friends, so I think there's a great balance there. We do not just study English, we actually use it. Meanwhile my Japanese friend says in Japan, they learn English to get passing/excellent grades and rankings, and of course for college admissions. It seems to me that they are forced to study English for school/job purposes, but they do not really naturally learn it. Or I mean, they do not mean to really use the language. They still have all Japanese media, Japanese TV, commercials, etc.. I hope that makes sense.

I often have some grammatical at spelling errors when speaking and writing essays (XD). I really don't get it on why would you say that we Filipino's would forget the language FILIPINO (Tagalog is not that national language of the Philippines) when in fact the first language that the children learn IS Filipino or in my case my vernacular language Bisaya (which i think is still part of the Filipino culture). Filipino and the child's vernacular language is what they often hear and this what we call imprinting~. as a Filipino studying in a Japanese school, i myself admit that I am not that fluent in English.

So English is not a second language there. If you read the Philippine constitution, BOTH English and Tagalog ARE THE OFFICIAL LANGUAGES of the country. So English is not a second language there.

Just read up on it a bit. I think the similarity is that they are both difficult to pin down with an accurate definition. I'm glad you pointed this out though, because I have to keep in mind that MOJO will be interpreted as crackpot, new-age pseudo-psychology if I'm not careful. Thanks, and nice to see you around again:-) Interesting, I hadn’t heard of elan vital until now. Just read up on it a bit.
