INTRODUCTION

English holds a significant position as a language in the Philippines. It is recognized

as one of the official languages, alongside Filipino (Tagalog). English has a long
history in the country, dating back to the American colonization period in the early
20th century.

English proficiency in the Philippines is relatively high compared to many other

countries. It is widely used in government, business, education, media, and various
professional fields. Many Filipinos are fluent English speakers and possess a good

throughout the country.Overall, English plays a significant role in the Philippines,
facilitating communication, education, and economic opportunities. It continues to be
an important language in the country's multicultural and globalized society.

different schools, regions, and socioeconomic backgrounds. While English is taught
