What is the importance of language policies and language planning?

Language policies and planning are important since the policies enable
minority groups' access to major forms of national standard languages and
literacies while also encouraging the lifelong preservation of minority languages,
both indigenous; planning is also crucial as it is an effort to solve language
difficulties in a specific country while also protecting it against foreign influences.

Which two language policies in the Philippines do you think are the most
beneficial and effective to language learners?

The Bilingual Education and GEC Policy I think is the most beneficial and
effective for language learners. These policies enhanced learning through two
languages to achieve quality education. It helps the development of the Filipino as
a linguistic symbol of national unity and identity.

What is the connection of a person's competence in the first language to one's

skills or competence in second language learning?

The connection of a person’s competence in the first language to one’s skills

or competence is that students who have strong first language skills are able to
acquire the second language more easily due to language transfer. For example,
children spend several years listening to language, babbling, and using telegraphic
speech before they can form sentences. In second language acquisition in older
learners, learning is more rapid, and people are able to form sentences within a
shorter period of time.
