SUMMARY.
Philippine English has its unique quality compared to other World Englishes. Souns, spelling,
grammatical features and even usage may defer from other World Englishes being
encountered. It could be observed that such pronunciation, spelling, grammar and usage are
being affected by the native lnaguages of the individuals. Also, training and exposure of
Filipino individuals creates the differences of English usage.

INTENDED LEARNING ACTIVITY.
You will be writing several analytical essays regarding the sub-topics mentioned above.
Before that, let us review the steps on how to write an analytical essay.
(lifted from https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-write-an-analytical-essay#what-is-an-analytical-essay)
*Purposes of Analytical Essays:

1. For the writer: High school teachers and college professors assign analytical papers to help their
students grow as writers and thinkers. Analytical papers boost a student's writing skills and enhance
their comprehension of a particular topic.
2. Analytical essays also benefit readers.
*Analytical Essay vs. Descriptive Essay: What’s the Difference?

1. What sets an analytical essay apart from a descriptive essay is the author's point of view.
2. Analytical essays present an argument supported by evidence VS descriptive essays tend to take
the form of book summaries, film synopses, descriptive articles, and informative pamphlets that do
not include analysis or opinion.
3. Descriptive essays summarize facts, while analytical essays delve into interpretation.
*How to Write an Analytical Essay in 7 Steps
1. Choose a point of view. No matter what you choose as your central point of view, prepare
to anchor your entire analytical essay around a singular thesis statement.
2. Write an introductory paragraph ending in a thesis statement. An excellent introduction
can engage your reader’s interest, so take extra care on your opening paragraph. The best
introductions start with a hook such as a rhetorical question or a bold statement and provide
global context, outlining questions that your analysis will tackle. A good
introduction concludes with a thesis statement that serves as the north star for the entire
essay.
3. Carefully organize the body of your essay. After your introductory paragraph, divide your
essay into body paragraphs that delve into specific topics. All body paragraphs should serve
the main goal of supporting your thesis statement, either by providing background information,
digging into details, or providing contrasting viewpoints. The number of body paragraphs will
vary depending on the scope of your essay. The structure of your essay is just as important
as the subject of your essay, so take the time to plan each body paragraph.
4. Craft clear topic sentences. Each main body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence
that both introduces the topic of the specific paragraph, and ties it to your main thesis.
5. Populate your essay with evidence. The main body of the essay should be filled with a
mixture of substance and analysis. You won't convince your audience by making statements
without solid evidence to back it up. Therefore, you must support the main points of your
analysis with textual evidence taken from both primary and secondary sources. Use footnotes
and endnotes as necessary.
6. Provide space for contrasting opinions. You can make an argument stronger by
acknowledging another point of view. Even if you do not agree with a critical perspective, you
Course Code: EL111

Tagudin Campus
MODULE
can still use a body paragraph to articulate that point of view. You can then refute that
argument with additional evidence and reasoning, strengthening your thesis.
7. Summarize your analysis in a concluding paragraph. Whether you're aiming for a good
grade or just trying to give your audience a satisfying reading experience, wrap up your
analytical essay with a concluding paragraph that recaps your argument. The concluding
paragraph is not the place to introduce new evidence. Rather, it is the bow on your entire
essay, reminding your reader of your most important points and leaving them with some final
words for consideration.
1. Lesson 1. Read the first lesson. Understand. Make an analytical essay on the diversed
languages of the Philippines and how English plays it role as it is being used by the Filipinos
with different native languages. Get your support/ claim/ evidences from the reading ONLY.
Provide at least 10 evidences (evidences must come from the reading only).
*This will be submitted on April 26, 2021 (Monday). Incude the “Review and Research Area
of this module.
2. Lesson 2. Read the second lesson. Understand. Make an analytical essay on the
phonological feature of Philippine English. Look into how Filipino may differ in producing
sounds for the English language. Do the sounds differ from other countries or not? Do the
sounds produced by Filipinos differ or not at all? Take a stand. Get your support/ claim/
evidences from the reading ONLY. Provide at least 10 evidences (evidences must come
from the reading only).
*This will be submitted on April 30, 2021 (Friday)
3. Lesson 3. Read the third lesson. Understand. Make an analytical essay on the diversed
languages of the lexicography and vocabulary meaning of the English words being used by
the Filipinos. Do you think Phil English is altering English or just complimenting it? Take a
stand. Get your support/ claim/ evidences from the reading ONLY. Provide at least 10
evidences (evidences must come from the reading only).
*This will be submitted on May 5, 2021 (Wednesday)
4. Lesson 4. Read the fourth lesson. Understand. Make an analytical essay on the
grammatical feature of Philippine English. Is the Philippine English grammar better than the
