The developments in Philippine English research
Keywords:
Philippine English, World Englishes, Language Varieties, English Language TeachingAbstract
In this paper, the authors surveyed the developments of Philippine English literature. Particularly, this paper reports the following: (1) the emergence of Philippine English (PhilE) varieties; (2) Philippine English (PhilE) versus American English and other varieties; (3) Intelligibility of Philippine English (PhilE); (4) Attitudes of English Language Teachers (ELTs) toward Philippine English (PhilE); and, (5) Philippine English in Schneider’s Dynamic Model. These thematic reviews discuss current developments of Philippine English research that opens for further discoveries of other (sub)varieties. The review on existing debates on the status of Philippine English allow potential readers to formulate trajectories and future research directions. Such review benefits English language teachers and linguistics research enthusiasts to exhaust the study of Philippine English and to (re)direct language ideologies and language policies in the Philippines. By doing so, it may result in transformations in curriculum and pedagogy, theory, and practice in English Language Teaching (ELT) and adoptions of frameworks and policies by countries which English varieties have not been documented nor studied yet.References
