As a student of the Tagalog language, learning these parts of speech can be confusing and may dishearten a person in his journey on how to learn Tagalog. But when through consistent practice, diligence, and patience one understands and is able to use them like the native speakers do, a greater step is achieved on the road to Tagalog mastery. Although these last three parts of speech may seem insignificant, learning them and using them properly will eliminate a lot of misunderstanding in your conversation among Tagalog speakers and you will be better understood as you try to express yourself to them. So take heart, and try your best to focus on these practical tips:
• 1. Prepositions in Tagalog are used to link a word to other words in a sentence. Pang-ukol is

They carry importance, especially during everyday, informal conversations. As a student, it’s better that you have a glimpse of it as early as now so that if ever you hear it you can go back to these listings and learn what it means. Familiarize yourself with these Tagalog interjections and idiomatic expressions, and slowly incorporate it to the basic things you have learned so far. Later on, you’ll feel at ease saying them, and it surely is a big step towards perfecting your overall Tagalog
7.) Tell me two idioms that you like to use. Why are idioms difficult for ESL students?
Another area that I am very self-conscious of is my own oral and written language. I am not an English native speaker and I constantly think that I may use inaccurate language when I am speaking in the class. As Guy has drawn my attention to this point in my stage one progress record on September 22, I need to provide accurate and appropriate models of both oral and written language in the classroom.

Hi Divina, my name is Corey Wilson and i agree with you in some ways. I can understand when people talk slang or broken english but i do not like to read it. I also think speaking properly will make people more prone to listen to you and want to follow your instructions. A big part of my learning is accepting constructive criticism. It was hard at first but really works when you are able to be corrected and learn from it
Today it's about being able to make sense of an engage and advance reading writing,listening and speaking. Anybody who has reached advanced literacy in the new language, as me, is able to engage to this four skills with the new language in any setting, academically or casually. In order for me to engage in academic conversation, I need plenty of practice with informal conversation in pairs or groups.

2. Listen Read and Speak - You should find materials where you can listen and read them. When you use the materials for the fisrt time, you just listen only. For the second time, you should listen and read the subtitles that will help you to identify the connection between what you can hear and what you can read. For the third time, you should
However, the difficult part was to paraphrase after they have finished talking. I was keeping in mind that I have to carefully listen to each details they were to tell me. Therefore I found that it is hard to process what has being
Given that this is one of the basis for third year students’ internship, it is only proper if we practice the language as this will as well, help the next batch in dealing with professionals
Prepare to only listen, thus remove distractions which will refrain us from dedicating our full attention to the speaker. Pay attention to not just words but body language of the speaker as well.
These new words are hard, but I usually hear them in American speaking. To be candor, when you don't know them, you also can't hear them!! These words make your speaking coherent and cliched! Don't cajole yourself that they are useless and skip them! always be avid and alleviate your stress by planning better for learning them. Arm yourself by them. As an international person here you need them in altercations and
Many popular theories of second language acquisition have been analyzed throughout history. The socialization of L2 learners, their present emotional state that is present at the time of acquisition, as well as the comprehensible input and output with the use of scaffolding play a major role in second language acquisition. Kirsten Hummel states, “The one most effective way to increase L2 competence was by exposure to ‘comprehensible input’.” (Hummel, 2014, p. 73) Let us also not forget the importance of written expression as well as reading comprehension with these L2 learners. Each plays a role in language development. However, I believe that to acquire language one must use a variety of techniques that work together to create a balance within the learning environment. Furthermore, all L2 learners acquire language differently and so using a variety of resources that are based on the ability of each student is neccesary. There are many theories that have been developed by highly qualified experts in the field of linguistics. However, I will address those areas that I agree with as I present my personal theories on second language acquisition.
The teaching of a productive skill, like speaking, is a vital part of any language education. Approaches to teach speaking have been changed noticeably during the time. The behaviorist approach, which is a traditional way of teaching, includes drilling, memorizing, answering and not questioning, checking and not correcting, individual learning, teachers are the sources and producers of knowledge, students are the recipients, and leaving no place for much thinking and understanding [1]. The Presentation, Practice, Production (PPP) is an approach based on behaviorist teaching [2, 3]. The PPP approach focused on accurate use of the grammatical forms taught at the Presentation stage. But very few students who finished their English courses were able to use their English to communicate adequately with others.

I found, upon returning home a year ago, that I still hadn't "picked up" many of these items. While my speaking ability had reached a point that native Chinese people clearly understood my pronunciation and tones, my mastery of those items that had not been clearly taught to me sometimes caused major communication breakdowns. Frustrated, I decided to isolate these parts of speech that were giving me so much trouble, look them up in reference grammars, and figure out once and for all how to use them like a native Chinese person. It was this search that raised the questions that I will attempt to answer in this paper.
Contrary to my one language, my parents both spoke four different languages. One being English and three other dialects from the Philippines called Tagalog, Panasinan, and Ilocano. While my parents raised me, they rarely used these three Filipino dialects but I was able to pick up a few words from each. In high school, I had the opportunity to study Tagalog in a class room setting for three years. In this class we were taught how to read, speak and write in Tagalog. Everyday lessons include grammar lessons, watching films, reciting phrases and working on work sheets to test our knowledge. Unfortunately, the class was not very effective, even when supplemented with some small lessons taught by my parents at home. Honestly, I do not remember much of the information I learned in that class for the last three years. The only place I would use my Tagalog
