Pathways to Effective Communication in English

Authors: Theresa Y. Pesayco,  Cherry Ann J. Gulay,  Marianne P. Afrondoza,  Dinah C. Hernandez,  Mary Cris L. Ipan,  Ediwn L. Nebria,  Honorio P. Jumilla

Author/Coordinator: Nerissa C. Gabelo

“(Books are the plane, and the train, and the road: 'They are the destination and the journey. They are home.”

– How Reading Changed My Life, Anna Quindlen

The goal of every student in the tertiary level education is a career path that eventually improves the quality of life. The tool to achieve this goal is a challenge that all academic institutions recognize and competitively try to offer. Academic excellence becomes a drum-beater for all schools that boast of quality education.

Learning is a dynamic process that entails holistic development of a human being. Anchored on this vision, this book sets the benchmark for the comprehensive, practical and communicative learning of the English language. This book aims to set the students to achieve mastery of the English language through a ladderized approach–interrelated lessons that are arranged from the simplest to the most complex—keeping in mind how the human brain functions best when ideas are placed in good order.

This book is divided into two major parts—Structure of the English Grammar and Paragraph Development. Each part of the book is designed with learning elements that are distinctly adaptive to the lessons' content.

Part 1 – Structure of the English Grammar focuses on the comprehensive discussion of the eight parts of speech and introductory lessons on writing elements and writing mechanics. Each lesson contains Stumbling Blocks that serves as both diagnostic testing and lesson springboard for the students. The Path Finders is a comprehensive discussion of the lesson with numerous examples to ensure complete understanding of the lesson. The Learning Alley is the part where the students get to evaluate their understanding of the lesson through two sets of exercises that provide a variety of assessment.

Part 2 – Paragraph Development consists of lessons on methods of exposition through different patterns of paragraph development. Each lesson consists of Path Finders that discusses Do's and Don't's and How's of the writing process. The Writing Pointers presents sample paragraphs with sub-elements that guide the reading and writing of the method. The Pen's Tip includes pointers that guide students in understanding the mechanics of writing. Word Factory contains difficult words that are unlocked for better understanding of the sample paragraph. In The Note presents practical guidelines on the process of paragraph development. Comprehension Questions are provided to ensure that the paragraph's content is fully understood. The Writing Tips lists handy and practical pieces of advice on how to further improve

  • Art Appreciation: Looking Beyond

    Authors: Ronnie Espergal Pasigui, Fabian T. Avila, Jr., Araceli C. Suyat, Warto M. Torrevillas, and Allan V. Pura

    “Come to the edge,” he said.
    They said, “we are afraid.”
    Come to the edge,” he said.
    They came. He pushed them, and they flew.
    (Apollinaire)

    As we stand at the edge of these challenging years, gazing out into its uncharted expanse, some of us feel as if we are stepping out onto a launching pad; others feel at the brink of an abyss. Some see the challenges and the marvels to come and are exhilarated; some see only the certainty of change and its uncertain outcomes and are apprehensive. How amazing it is to note that many instructional materials, textbooks, in particular remained as they were.

    This book is a response to the challenge of writing a newer book in the humanities course. It includes features to aid the students in the understanding of the subject.

    A. Each chapter has the following features to help both the instructor and the student.1

    1. An overview of the chapter
    2. Learning objectives
    3. Key words for understanding
    4. Aids for study
    5. Exercises

    B. Chapters on the different art forms include the following features:

    1. Historical development of the art form
    2. Emphasis on Philippine art
    3. Discussion of Art and Society
    4. Inclusion of websites

    C. Optional chapters for alternative approach in teaching humanities are included:

    1. Functions Of Art (Chapter 3)
    2. Art Theories (Chapter4)
    3. Photography (Chapter 16)
    4. Discipline-based Art Education (Chapter 17)

    D. Instead of including an introductory discussion on literature as an Art, the authors focused on specific literary form— Drama. This is not to underestimate the other literary forms suck as poetry, novels, short stories, etc. Drama 15 a literary form almost within man's existence.

    E. Powerpoint Presentation of selected topics are available for teachers as supplementary materials upon request.

    These features, hopefully give this book an edge!

  • Humanities Art Appreciation

    Authors: Ricardo A. Clores, Jeffrey A. Lubang, Mary Ann J. Salvador, Virginia T. Sanfilip, and Jovito R. Santos Jr.

    Where do we put the humanities and the arts in a nation that budges and prods its students, like a mantra recited on a daily basis, to take skilled works? Today, the demands of the First World markets are nurses, caregivers and call center agents. Tomorrow, First World needs might shift to hotel and restaurant management practitioners, plumbers, electricians, automechanics and the like. As the country sinks deeper in its economic woes, at the same time tightens its grip even more to First World needs, students are left with no other choice but to submit. Not that there is anything wrong with being a caregiver or a call center agent, if this is what a student truly wants, but the condition paints even more of the pathetic and dwindling opportunities and possibilities for Filipino students.
