English Language for Global Competence

             The English language is the predominant international language. It is also common to all of us Filipinos. But as generations pass by, our country Philippines lags behind in the worldwide ranking of English proficiency based on the survey. It is a challenge to every Filipino especially to the teachers and students to upgrade their linguistic ability on English as an international medium of communication.
             The DepEd implements a program to respond to this dilemma. It launches a solution to promote English language to the Filipino. It is the English Month Celebration which is celebrated in every mo0nth of October. It is very important because it enhances or improves the skills of every student on the English language.
            There are many activities of this celebration. They are poster, making contest, declamation contest, speech choir competition, etc. In this case, the students will easily learn how to use the English language properly and competently.
            Excellent verbal or written ability on the English language is now a major asset in the global competition of various fields of endeavor. Students and practicing professionals need to have a competent ability in English to be at par with their international counterparts. It is therefore commendable that the DepEd is in the forefront of keeping the academe cognizant of the updated standards on the English language.
