Reading Academic Texts

Reading is one skill that is put into good use everyday. As soon as we
go to the kitchen and open the cupboard to prepare our first meal for the
day, we start reading the labels on the boxes and cans found on the shelves.
We pick a box of cereals and read the instructions written on the package.
With proper understanding of these directions, we can enjoy a hearty
breakfast.
This section aims to enhance the students’ skills in reading academic
texts. In the earlier years the students were taught reading strategies. These
strategies can give them a better grasp of the reading texts.
The first two selections provide an account of the history of language;
one discusses language development from gestures to speech, the other
gives a broad perspective of the periods in the history of the English
Language. The chronological presentation of facts can help explain how
languages change through time.
The four selections that follow are a sharp contrast to the first two in
terms of length. These selections though brief, provide sufficient information
on a variety of topics. The longer selections require skills that enable the
reader to determine text structures as the key to understanding meaning
and gathering information.
This section also contains texts that illustrate the use of the English
language in different disciplines. The language registers as these varieties of
English in the different fields of learning are called, are distinctly shown in
the selections that include the language of medicine, law, journalism, and
literature.

Let Us Learn!
At the end of this lesson you are expected to differentiate language
used in academic texts from various discipline.

“A Brief History of English”

1
a. Old English- usually refers to the period in the history of the English
language covering the years from 449 (or 450) to 1100 (or 1150). Around the
year 450, England was invaded by the Germanic tribes (the Angels, the
Saxons, and the Jutes). These Germanic tribes are regarded as “the
founders of The English nation” [Albert C. Baugh and Thomas Cable, A
History of the English Language (London: Routledge, 2002)]. The account of
these invasions is found in the Benedictine monk Bede’s work Ecclesiastical
History of the English People, which was completed in 731 (Baugh and
Cable 2002). The earliest records of the language date back to about 700.
b. Middle English- covers the period from 1100 (or 1150) to 1500. William
of Normandy, a French territory, conquered England in 1066. The French
rule brought change to the English language. The Anglo-Saxons chronicle
existed until 1154. By that time, the English language had taken on new
futures different from the ones of Old English.
c. Modern English- covers the period 1500 to the present in the history of
the English language. The introduction of the movable printing process into
England by William Caxton in 1476 made possible the production of
uniform copies of big numbers of books. The increase in the number of
schools, in literacy production, and in travel and explorations brought
change to the language from the time of the Renaissance in the 1500s.
d. Anglo-Saxons- the Anglo-Saxon is the term that came about with
reference to the Teutonic tribes that invaded England. The term is often
used to refer to “the earliest period of English” (Baugh and Cable 2002).
e. Indo-European language- is the family of languages to which English
belongs.
f. Celts- The Celts were “the original inhabitants of the British Isles before
the arrival of the Romans” [Phillip, The Story of English (London: Quercus,
2009)
g. Dialect- is a variation of a language.
h. Case- is the choice of form depending on the function of words (nouns,
pronouns, adjectives) in the sentences in an inflected language.
i. Standardization- suggests an “ideal” norm or model of usage.
j. Mutually intelligible language- indicated that the language are distinct
from each other and are not dialects of the same language.

The Implementation Of English Language In the Philippines

English language has been considered as international language for

most countries use English as their medium of instruction and
communication. Filipinos were introduced to the English language in 1762

2
by British invaders, not Americans and the implementation of English
language as the media of instructions starts with the language provision in
the 1987 constitution of Republic of the Philippines which are embodied in
Article XIV, sec 6 and 7 provided the legal basis for the various language
policies that are being implemented in the country. The policy was first
implemented in 1974 when DECS issued department order No. 25. 1974
entitled Implementing guidelines for the policy on Bilingual education.
Bilingual Education Policy (BEP) in the Philippines is defined
operationally as the separate use of Filipino and English as the media of
instruction in specific subject areas.” As embodied in the DECS Order,
Filipino shall be used as medium of instruction in social studies/social
sciences, music, arts, physical education, home economics, practical arts
and character education. English, on the other hand is allocated to science,
mathematics, and technology subjects.
The need to be proficient in the use of English among non-native
speakers has become a global phenomenon. Today, educators are faced with
the challenge of addressing the needs of the growing number of students
whose primary language is not English (Gibson, 2003).Since the Philippines
embraced the English language from British and American colonizers, the
Philippines today is the fifth largest English-speaking country in the world
and second in the continent of Asia.Cruz (2004) stated in a relatively recent
newspaper column that even at this time, most of the official notices, laws,
court decisions, bar and board examinations and even the Constitution, are
mostly in English. However, some of the educators still believe that the use
of English in schools will only put the poor students at a disadvantage,
because English will slow their intellectual development; It will alienate the
students from their cultural heritage; It will weaken their emotional security
and self-worth; and Inferiority complex may emerge in the lower class. But
these possible results didn’t affect the beliefs of those who support EO 210,
especially when news from the Kalinga district emerged showing the 300
percent improvement of the students after using English as a second
language in teaching. Some followers of EO 210 believe that removing
English in the teaching system will only cause some bad effects like: Lower-
income students will never learn to speak the language; only the children of
well-to-do families could find other alternative ways to learn; and the
economic growth will suffer due to the shrinking number of people who are
proficient in English.
The implementation of the English language as medium of instruction in the
Philippines doesn’t mean that we have to forget our native language. Though
English is given much time, focus and priority, Filipino is still considered
essential. The argument of whether or not English should be the medium of
instruction may seem endless, but in some countries like Japan, teaching
English has become a billion-dollar industry and this same scenario is also
happening in other East Asian countries. The implementation of English

language is very useful to all Filipino citizen it is a bridge of communication
and understanding in spite of many cultures and countries we had.

Role Of English As A Global Language Of Communication

The role of English as a global language in the past, present and future
has changed over the year especially in areas such as politics, medicine and
law. Communication is a skill acquired by individuals which is used each and
every day, be it verbally or through physical communication such as
newspapers, the media and politics.
The English language is a language which is known as a linga Franca.
Linga Franca is a language which has been adopted as a common language
between people whose first languages are not English. (Oxford dictionary [on-
line] 2015) Global language as stated by Crystal (2003) is whereby a language
is used across the world and acquires a global status. This tends to occur
when English develops a special role which can be recognized across the
globe. (Crystal 2012). In addition, geographical status and culture play a huge
role into whether English is used or not for example the colonization of
countries in the past. English has been present for many years but McKenzie
(2010) states that the globalization of English ‘began on a world scale in the
18th century’ and English was used in the industrial and trading industries
in the 19th century too. https://tinyurl.com/y29k8gg9
