Targeted Philippine Basic Education Curriculum Competencies
Learning Competencies in Interactive Secondary English Language Curriculum 2002
For Second Year
The English language curriculum provides for the development of language and language-related skills in a meaningful, purposeful and interesting manner. This is attained through the adoption of an integrated approach in the teaching of language.
Central to the framework of this curriculum is the need for language learning that is contextualized, interactive and integrated. This is achieved through the use of themes covering a wide range of topics to cater to the varied interests and maturity levels of students as they progress through their school years.
Each of the themes, explored through meaningful tasks and activities, provides the context in which grammar and other language and language related skills are taught and learned. Themes also provide the means for the integration of the various language components. This integration makes language more purposeful, meaningful and thus, more motivating for the students.
