PROUD FILIPINA...

I am attending the three-day International convention of ESL writers and teachers here in Arizona State University in Tempe. Researches from various parts of the world are flooding in the symposium. There is a huge number of participants coming from China, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Malaysia but none from Phil. Since I am working with AZ Education my nametag says USA (urrggghhh). I am glad there is one DLSU professor in attendance and so happy to meet her.

There are work which are truly impressive, but there are some out of nowhere researches as well. Having some backgrounds in ESL from Phil, my La Sallean companion and I can not stop ourselves in questioning the valididity of some work which brought rising eyebrows specifically, when we challenged one presenter from Purdue... Kind of weird but since we started to stir the intrigues we were forced to continue the quest which ended in almost heated discussion. Tough!! but after the event and after participated in a discourse community composed of various representative from asian countries, I understood totally why Filipino teachers can make it to the English instructions of students here in US. Linguistically, Filipinos are truly proficient in English communication compared to Asian contemporaries (purely my opinion but there is truth in it). I am always proud of the education I got from Phil. I could say that the education I got from my native country exceeds far or goes within if I compare to some of my contemporaries in any part of the world.

I may have USA in nametag but I always emphasize that I am a 100% Phil trained ESL teacher.

The term Philippines truly makes a difference.

 I always do and am hoping not only to gaze the stars but to pick some of them someday. Few more growth hormones to help me increase my height will be needed though.
