Reflection



          


            Another quarter of the school year 2012-2013 had passed. New lessons were been disscussed, new topics and new challenges and trials has arrived again for the next grading period.
Months have passed again and third grading period has arrived. I can say that I have learned a lot of lessons during the second grading period. But amidst all of those knowledges that I’ve learned, I still got low scores during quizzes, and long tests. But with the help of having a lot of friends, I recovered in almost all of our hard subjects. They let me borrow their notes, they also discussed the lessons that I’ve missed and luckily, I can easily catch up with the lessons that I didn’t know before.
              This Grading Period, I learned more about HTML tags. We put background in our exercises. We put pictures and others. I know now how to align images. We improved our exercises, we used our exercises in 2nd grading and we improved it. We insert images and background that makes it wonderful and attractive.
              Moving on I will be more responsible in doing my obligations and responsibilities not only outside the school but also inside if it. I'm excited for the next grading period because I know it is also about HTML. I want to gain more knowledge about making web pages.

English Proficiency for Communicative Language


               
                  This month of October is the celebration of the English Olympics and the theme is ‘’English Proficiency for Communicative Language’’.Language proficiency or linguistic proficiency is the ability of an individual to speak or perform in an acquired language. As theories vary among pedagogues as to what constitutes proficiency, there is little consistency as to how different organizations classify it. Additionally, fluency and language competence are generally recognized as being related, but separate controversial subjects.
                   In predominant frameworks in the United States, proficient speakers demonstrate both accuracy and fluency, and use a variety of discourse strategies. Thus, native speakers of a language can be fluent without being considered proficient.Communicative language is an approach to the  second and foreign languages that emphasizes interaction as both the means and the ultimate goal of learning a language. It is also referred to as “communicative approach to the teaching of foreign languages” or simply the “communicative approach”.                   As a simple citizen of the world, I, myself is very observant to my fellow Filipino citizens. They can’t speak well in English and others don’t  use it correctly  or in a more austere words, people have it been shortcut , English carabao and jejemon, which were not accepted in formal English.We should love to use and speak English as our own native ones.  We can use English , as the international language in any part of the world , anytime and anywhere.
