1. What are the trends and issues in teaching English in the 21st
Century?
Issues in Teaching English:
The Philippines has initiated English curriculum reforms to respond
effectively to the demands of
21st century education and the current educational problems of the
country such as low achievement
test scores and congested curriculum. Overall, the current
curriculum may need to improve its
clarity, specificity, and internal coherence as well as the integration
of some essential principles of
21st century learning and language teaching and learning.
The most significant problem of the teachers in teaching
English, according to the findings of the study of the author, was
the pupils’ poor background of knowledge in English. It was also
discovered that the pupils had poor or limited vocabulary.
Moreover, English was not spoken outside the classroom, thus,
they had a feeling of awkwardness in using the language.
Trends in Teaching English:
Blended learning

As teachers combine digital media with more traditional forms of teaching,


their course materials and resources reflect the trend.

Mobile learning

Online resources are more accessible with a mobile app or a mobile-friendly


version.

Embodied learning

Embodied learning is based on the idea that learning is not just about
remembering. It involves using the mind and the body, collaborating,
discussing and exploring. Learners need to be emotionally, intellectually,
physically and socially engaged.

Inquiry-based learning (or: 'learning in a complex world')

The scenarios that teachers come across in some course materials can
seem simplified and unrealistic, leading us to wonder if we are adequately
training our learners for real life in the 21st century.

Multi-literacies and trans-languaging

In global communities where English is a common language of


communication alongside other languages, knowledge of other languages is
an asset. Rather than diminish the learners’ first language (also known as
subtractive bilingualism), teachers are encouraging learners to use their own
languages.

Creating and sharing content

While there’s much online content already out there for learners, some
programmes and apps allow learners to produce their own content and share
what they have created with others.

Learning and teaching management platforms

Learning management platforms (LMSs) like Edmodo are increasingly


popular. They give learners an online way to find handouts, continue
classroom discussions and submit homework.

teaching English.
