    Students are expected to engage with multilingual education policies and methodologies. The Philippine Bilingual Education Policy that uses Filipino and English for different subjects has benefited students and teachers. Multilingualism is more important than bilingualism for preserving local languages and allowing students to genuinely learn in languages they understand. An example of effective multilingual education is a school for the Mangyan tribe that teaches in their native language to fully comprehend lessons before learning Filipino and English.

    1.

    What is expected from students to acquire/learn after the semester studying the
    course Language Program and Policies in Multilingual Education?

    Students are expected to actively engage with the policies and activities
    in-line with this course. The use of multilingual education methodologies could be
    practiced. Adapting the learning methodologies to the diverse cultural languages
    in learning institutions is expected to be acquired.

    2. Can you cite a policy you’ve learned and tell its implication to our educational
    system nowadays if still or now being applied or implemented?

    The Philippine Bilingual Education Policy (BEP) is a really functional and


    effective way of explaining concepts to learners using the language that suits the
    needs of the subjects. This policy divided the subjects with Filipino and English
    languages as their respective language means. Students now are able to excel in
    both languages. While, teachers could easily explain the concepts.

    3. For you, which is more needed in today’s educational situation, bilingualism or


    multilingualism? State your reasoning with conviction.

    In my perspective, I would like to highlight why multilingualism is highly


    relevant and necessary especially in the Philippines. If their local languages will
    be added as part of teaching an educational curriculum, the learners will be able
    to genuinely learn the lessons and excel in languages they are using. Hence
    preserving such language will be easier

    4. Create your own scenario where you think, multilingualism can be possibly be
    applied. Do you think it will be effective for the learner to learn and master his or
    her lesson? Justify.

    For example, there is an exclusive school dedicated for Mangyan tribe in


    Mindoro for elementary education. Many Mangyan people are not able to fluently
    speak and understand Filipino or even English. In order for them to fully
    understand the lessons, using their language as a medium for mentoring could
    be beneficial and functional for them to comprehend the concepts of what is
    being taught. Furthermore, they will be able to learn communicating in Filipino
    and English as another languages in academics which they could use when they
    enter a school with Tagalog people for secondary and tertiary education.

    5. How are you going to help in achieving the Millennium Development Goals
    (MDG) taking into consideration the role of language in the new normal situation
    in our educational system?

    Language will affect the achievement of efficient education for learners to


    realize their potential in contributing to the achievement of MDG such as having
    proper knowledge about proper implementation of gender equality, reproductive
    healthcare, child protection policies, and other related aspects. In order to
    achieve these, learners and educators may actively engage and participate in
    national and international web forums accompanied by their multilingual skills to
    communicate with people who share the same principle in achieving the MDG.
