Introduction
The basic education curriculum of the country was enhanced with the
implementation of the K to 12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program
covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary
education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School
[SHS]) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong
learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills
development, employment, and entrepreneurship.

Research shows that learners will value a curriculum that is relevant to the
world they are into. Students are often heard saying, “Do I need to know
these to live a meaningful life?” “How will I use this lesson in the actual
workplace?” “What is the relevance of this to me?” and so on. The answer
to the question of relevance is vital to help the teachers think of some ways
by which they will be able to let their students realize that their daily lessons
are of good use to their personal well-being and to their professional
preparation. Sara Bernard (2010) stressed that students need to have
personal connection to a lesson material which can be done through

Briggs (2014) shared some few tips for making learning engaging and
personally relevant as cited by Willis, Faeth, and Immordino-Yang:
• Use suspense and keep it fresh - Drop hints about a new learning unit
before you reveal what it might be, leave gaping pauses in your
speech, change seating arrangements, and put up new and
relevant posters or displays; all this can activate emotional signals
and keep student interest piqued.
• Connect it to their lives and what they already know - Taking the time
to brainstorm about what students already know and would like to
learn about a topic helps them to create goals. This also helps
teachers see the best points of departure for new ideas. Making
cross-curricular connections also helps solidify those neural loops.

You as a future teacher will play a very important role not only inside the
classroom as a classroom teacher but also in the facilitation of student learning,
designing implementing, and evaluating the curriculum. In the Philippines, the
teachers are expected to actively engaged themselves as curriculum designers
to ensure that the K to 12 Curriculum will be delivered at its best to fully equipped
the students of its intended learning outcomes.
Teachers make decisions about how they will implement the curriculum of their
specific field of specialization. They decide on how they must structure the
activities of their lessons and manage students’ responses and ideas. Hence, the
decision of teachers is very important to have an impact in the students’ learning
experiences in class. The following are points to consider in identifying and

Teaching has always been a challenging profession since knowledge has been
precipitously expanding and essential skills have been incessantly increasing and
changing. With the unescapable presence of these challenges that must be
faced by teachers, there is a need to engage educational technologies to assist

ICT integration is not merely mastering the hardware and software skills.
Teachers need to realize how to organize the classroom to structure the
learning tasks so that ICT resources become automatic and natural
response to the requirements for learning environments in the same way as
teachers use markers and whiteboards in the classroom.
Before you can successfully integrate ICTs in your language instruction, there is a
need to have a good grasp of what Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) is all about. Specifically, there is a need also to determine what are the ICTs
that are available for language education. The following are the definitions of
various literatures of what ICT is:

The usefulness of LCF in language education was analyze in a study that was
conducted by Abeer Aidh Alshwiah in 2016. The study investigated and
evaluated the effectiveness LCF in developing the writing component of foreign
language learners’ (FLLs’) communicative competence in a blended learning
(BL) context, as compared to a face-to-face (F2F) context. The FLLs in the study

MODULE 1: LEARNING PLANS
comprised three intact classes from a foundation course at a Saudi university. The
three skills addressed consisted of the use of the past tense to describe past
events and form wh-questions, as part of grammatical competence, and writing
a letter of complaint, as part of sociolinguistic competence.
The study revealed that LCF was more effective in the BL than in the F2F context,
in terms of developing the learners’ skill in forming wh-questions. However, both
contexts almost equally developed the learners’ skills in using the past tense and
writing a letter of complaint. Moreover, interviews with volunteers from the two
experimental groups, observing their engagement, and analysing their
conversations revealed positive perceptions amongst learners with an
intermediate level of English language proficiency. On the other hand, two
different factors affected their perceptions of the intervention: language
proficiency and the willingness of peers to collaborate. Another factor affecting
perceptions of BL was a lack of familiarity with the technology applied. It is
therefore recommended to overcome this barrier and thus encourage the use of
BL, given its effectiveness for the development of more writing skills in the present
study, in comparison to an F2F approach.

The pedagogical design a language teacher will use needs to include proper
selection of appropriate content and language learning activities. In the design,
the teacher needs to look into how the available technological resources will help
provide scaffolds that will assist their language learners during the learning
processes. Language teachers need to note that in developing learning plans
that embeds the pedagogical design, it is crucial for the teacher to look into the
learning environment and ensure that this environment will provide help to fulfill
the needs and objectives of the language class with learners of diverse
experiences and backgrounds. The learning plans should also involve the
appropriate use of learning resources and activities that support learners’
learning, and allow teachers to facilitate learning.
Social interaction activities as one of the elements in the framework are crucial in
language learning. With social interaction, learners will naturally acquire a
language and develop language knowledge and skills that are important for
them to live and work in various communities. In the various learning events, the
language teacher may use computers which may allow their learners to interact
and demonstrate the language skills and competencies required from them. The
teacher and the learners may use computers to connect and learn through the
computers that are now connected world-wide. With the advent of computer
mediated communication (CMC), planned social interaction activities that aim
to enhance language learning becomes more convenient and flexible.
Language learners may maximize computers individually but they may also
collaboratively use it with other learners. As noted by Uribe, Klein, & Sullivan (2003),
computer-supported collaborative learning has shown positive effects on
students’ performance.
To fully and meaningfully engage the learners in the teaching learning process,
the social design of the ICT-based learning environment needs to deliver a secure
and comfortable space. This will allow the learners to willingly share their thoughts
and ideas and will also facilitate communication between and among each
other.

MODULE 1: LEARNING PLANS
computers, various teaching modes may happen. Interaction does not solely
happen in a face-to-face environment but it may already happen online. In order
for any online interaction activities in language classroom to be effective, there is
a need to consider the availability of the facilities it require and easy access. The
human–computer interface design is also critical because this will define the utility
and of the technology-based learning environment. It must be noted that in
language learning, the ease of learning in the interface design is essential. It
needs to motivate the learners to fully participate.
There are a lot of researches that will prove that the integration of ICTs can fully
transform classroom instruction. Haddad in 2003 states that the teachers’ use of
ICT supports the development of higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and promotes
collaboration. This is the reason why it is recognized that trainings in ICT pedagogy
integration is promoted.

support the standards as it will serve as a guide to assist the teachers to
successfully integrate ICT into the language classroom. Through the framework,
the language teachers may structure their learning environment in new ways,
merge new technology and pedagogy, develop socially active classrooms, and
encourage co-operative interactions, collaborative learning and group work.

37
MODULE 1: LEARNING PLANS
Unit Summary:
In this unit, the students will act like junior reporters as they learn the proper use of
logical connectors, active and passive voices, past and perfect tenses, as well as
direct and reported speech in journalistic writing. The teacher will utilize
interactive PowerPoint presentations, sample printed and online articles as well as
related web pages and videos in explaining the grammatical structure and
journalistic content of news, opinion, and feature stories. Based on the discussed
concepts, the students will create their own journalistic articles. The students will
then collaborate and make a newspaper spread through MS Publisher. They will
be evaluated by their group members, by other groups and by the teacher. This
will be the students’ final output for English in the 4th quarter. It will be assessed
using journalistic standards for content and organization and related grammar
rules. Ultimately, students will appreciate the role of journalism in keeping the
society informed and in forwarding significant changes.
