Preparatory Crash Program in Literature for High School Students in the Philippines

In the Philippines currently the length of Main and Secondary educational institutions is staying debated no matter whether to add an additional two additional a long time in the common six decades main and four years secondary, producing secondary also six several years for a full of twelve a long time in preparation to school instruction. College principals and lecturers alike are divided. Shelling out mother and father in the privates colleges are resistant when even non-paying dad and mom in the community educational facilities elevate their brows on the plan of the govt. Many sectors question the plan for that would indicate paying out much more and keeping longer in faculty. Moms and dads want their kids to finish school right absent so that their kids can assist them reduce their poverty. So what is the use of adding decades in the 100-year very long academic program when Filipino graduates all more than the world are aggressive. Under is a proposal dependent from a study the writer executed on the Language and Literature application of Famy Countrywide High Faculty Laguna, Philippines on the doable solution to assistance the lack of pupils planning and exposure to Literature prior to they go to tertiary or better training sans the problem of adding variety of years in the secondary university.

A. RATIONALE:

Soon after scanning the natural environment of the college students, academics and the supplies available in Famy Countrywide Superior University in Laguna Philippines they equally made use of when they had the English 4, the proponent saw the requirements to prepare the new graduates from the Famy National Superior School by providing a preparatory crash program method in Literature to put together them for the demands and rigors of school Literature classes.

The fourth-calendar year significant school college students did not have more than enough exposure in finding out Literature since the e book they employed entitled Relocating Ahead in English revealed in 1999 which was framed on integrative technique as a result, mastery of the 4 macro techniques was emphasised in the course of the calendar year. The classes they had in Literature was a combined of Entire world Literature, Asian Literature and Philippine Literature given following each lesson. Their publicity on Literature was not centered on a solid foundation because the aim was a lot more on language and not on Literature. Out of 7 lessons, a single was only presented to Literature with queries concentrating on the ethical or didactic classes. The learners by themselves seemed at Literature as springboard classes to language lessons without price for it as an artwork kind.

The two teachers them selves assigned in instructing the fourth year were passionate lecturers training the language classes but they develop into much less energetic when they get to the Literature classes due to the fact college students did not read. One particular trainer was BSE important in English graduate from Union Faculty of Sta. Cruz, Laguna and the other was device earner in Schooling with a Bachelor’s diploma in Accountancy. Both equally rarely attend seminars on the new tendencies and issues in training Literature because of the shortage of financial assistance from the school. For this reason, their information and tactics were based mostly from their outdated undergraduate schema.

With these troubles, the proponent indeed observed the needs of making ready the pupils by a crash program software in Literature with the subsequent reasons:

1. notify students about the essentials of Literature they never experienced in significant faculty 2. discuss literature, not as a springboard of language classes, but as it is as an artwork 3. prepare students to the requires of Literature classes in School and 4. immerse students on the the latest tendencies, tactics and challenges in finding out Literature.

B. DESCRIPTION OF THE Program: The crash course plan in Literature generally aims to put together the incoming freshmen to Higher education Literature classes that they never figured out or encountered a lot in superior school, not because they were being not taught, but for the reason that the tactic then was integrative of the four macro abilities and Literature was applied as springboard to language classes. The crash training course discusses the basic principles of Literature from concepts, theories, use of techniques, traits and problems in mastering literature applied completely in educating the learners. The plan is only a crash class to be shipped in 45 several hours with 3 hrs for every lesson. The fifteen-working day sessions both in MWF (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) or TThS (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) schedules are devoted to classroom discussion and other latest pursuits that culminate in a wide variety demonstrate of poetry recitation, dramatization and choral recitation, routines which are also done in college. It is in MWF or TThS schedule to give college students time to read through and carry out their assignments on the classes before coming to class.

C. PROPONENT OF THE System The proponent of the method is Wilfredo M. Valois who is a present college student in Physician of Philosophy big in Literature at the Philippine Regular College, Manila. He has been instructing Literature topics at the Royal and Pontifical University of Sto. Tomas (UST), Manila for twelve (12) several years. He has taught subjects like Philippine Literature in English, Introduction to Literature and Classical Planet Literature.

D. FRAMEWORK OF THE Program With the advent of technology particularly the television, radio and online, folks have turn out to be much less receptive to what is going on around them, fairly, they turn out to be a lot more dependent on what they watch, they see and what they hear rather than what they study. People’s eyesight is blurred by the comfort and ease what engineering presents them consequently forgetting the value of looking at, the price of Literature. In the academe, with the target on the communicative competence and other ever-transforming techniques and theories, the educating and learning of Literature is frequently dwarfed, minimized or even deserted by many schools.

Carolina Garcia and Ophelia Diamante reminded viewers that Literature will have to notify and entertain. A very good literature will have to be in a position to awaken people today from ignorance to enlightenment. Moreover, they stated that literature need to have intellectual value, psychological benefit, non secular benefit, universality, permanence, design and most of all artistry.

Similarly, Edilberto Tiempo suggests that literature or very good literature is supposed to shift, it must seduce but a work’s emotive quality should not assault the sensibility, it must be ungirded by reasonableness, by logic, it need to complement and fulfill the intellect, it need to have the inevitability.

The conditions on how the literary choices in this crash class plan on Literature have been primarily based from Jose Garcia Villa’s conditions as cited by Edilberto K. Tiempo’s solutions on what should be integrated in any anthology of Literature. They are material and kind. Jose Garcia villa said that he adopted double conventional of sort and material. Material requires vitality of topic and important choice of information. Genuine substance is reached only when a pulse beats by means of the correlated information, for major material by yourself, if with no conquer of life, stay dead material. To achieve validity, hence, material in fiction ought to be residing as very well as major. The next examination is sort. It demands vigor of composition although variety and compound in literature are a innovative one particular and they are indivisible, however they are distinct. Thus generating possible this exam of kind. Variety, in literature, is the suitable and beautiful externalization of substance. It is not restrictive, mould, but is free, nonetheless artistically disciplined presentation of compound.

Literature liberates the intellect and spirit as one particular reads through the web pages. The knowledge one has in wanting at a painting, listening to a classical songs or a shifting performance in a theatre is related to the studying of a literary textual content. It moves the mind to imagine critically. It touches the coronary heart with that emotive electrical power when a single reads poetry or reads a enjoy. All these outcomes and far more are experienced by viewers or learners including the lovers when they are arrested by impressive literary texts with lovely type and substance.

Literature is an instrument to battle illiteracy. Folks have become dependent on shifting photos and flashed items that they tend to go through significantly less. Persons have become lazy readers if not none visitors at all, for this reason elevating our standing of illiteracy. Many thanks to the government’s work in placing Different Discovering Process or ALS in many municipalities and barangays exactly where lecturers teach the illiterates. But the attempts are geared in the direction of financial and not creative. Therefore, the debate on the conflict concerning “artwork for art’s sake” (autonomy of the artwork) and “artwork for social awareness” (proletariat literature) is as soon as once again superior. The crash course provides an respond to to this discussion as it hinges on bridging the gap and conflict in between the autonomy of art and social awakening by providing students the artistic literary texts that will give them at the exact same time an awakening alongside the way in the research of literatures.

The plan is built to satisfy the wants set by the Commission on Greater Instruction (CHED) to give at the very least 6 models of Literature classes across willpower in the standard training. Namely, the two courses are Introduction to Planet Literatures and Regional Philippines Literatures. That when they move forward to faculty instruction, incoming freshmen will be far more than completely ready to deal with the requires of the Literature programs with no insecurity and ignorance owing to lack of exposure and schooling in literatures.
