The module consists of learning activities that will enable students to build their own knowledge and understanding of the "local and international basic education language policies and programs that account for issues and considerations relevant to the engagement of teachers in school setting" (CHED Memorandum Order No. 75, series of 2017, on the Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Bachelor of Secondary Education, Annex B, p.43).
It is vital that students acquire fundamental knowledge of how language policies and programs shape language classroom practices, and how these de facto practices can also influence policies and programs. This knowledge should help students better comprehend the complexity of language learning and teaching, and hopefully, guide them to arrive at sound, practical, and effective pedagogical decisions in their future language classes ER -
