The Value of Learning

We can say that we're the kind of students that's not on

top and not in the bottom type of student when it comes to
English, but this past few years, we learned a lot of things such as
how to communicate well in front of many people. In the class, the
teacher allows us to grow when it comes to speaking which will
enhance our communication skills in the future. We have realized
that it had made a significant change in our life. When we're
listening in our class, not only we understand the readings better
than before, but we also learned to analyze the information,
forming our own thoughts, and incorporating ideas from the past
to increase the literacy towards the topic. We value the qualities
that this English class gives to the students like us because it has
improved us as a good public speaker, learner, and as an active
members in the society.

 I never really liked writing. For me it is the most difficult
task to do since it requires a lot of vocabulary words and it relies
on the individual's critical thinking skills. I know that writing skills

to improve mine. Thankfully, EAPP is there to help me. For me,

our critical reading and writing skills.
I learned that when reading, one should not only do it for fun but also to
acquire knowledge. And to do that, we must observe critical reading. Critical

reading is a more active way of reading. It is a deeper and more complex
engagement with a text or selection. It is a way of analyzing, evaluating and
interpreting what you are reading. One way of becoming a critical reader is to
establish reading strategies. With an individual's reading strategies, he/she can
comprehend and examine the text thoroughly. In terms of writing, I have really
learned many things. In this subject we mainly deal with academic writing that can
help us for future purposes. I learned the importance of academic writing and how
it differ to personal writing. I also learned the proper way of writing an outline,
summary, abstract and references.
In the span of two months I have learned a great deal of knowledge in this subject. It enlightened me on
things that are unfamiliar and unknown to me. Inch by inch, step by step, I know I'm improving and
becoming a better reader and a writer. And of course all this would not be possible without the help of our
teacher, Mrs. Guerrero. Without her good teaching skills and understanding, I will never learn this great
deal of lessons.
 EAPP as One
Marc David T. Gepigon
Way back from the start I didnt know what EAPP was all about but now it is one of my favorite
subjects this shs. I was excited to tackle new subjects like EAPP because not only is it about english reading
but also speaking to others in english which intrigued me the most. EAPP is one of the most fun subjects so
far because not only is our teacher good at teaching but also very understanding to the circumstances of
her students. EAPP has halped me not only in communicating with each other but also comprehending
words or phrases which is very beneficial to me as a student. This subject has helped me bond with my
fellow classmates that are new to me way back from the start of class, we were like so quiet back then but
now the fun is just getting started. Due to activities that were held in this subject by our subject
teacher/adviser/ second mother, Maam Joane L. Guerrero we enjoyed every second of it and even though
sometimes there are surprise test and more activities that we enjoy I can say that it is because she wants
us to improve further not only academically but also personally. So why is EAPP for me one of the best
subjects so far? Why not? We have the best teacher, best second mother, and best advisor. There is nothing
more that we can ask for.
 Why EAPP is One of the Best Subjects
Iris Giancarlo J. Hualde

EAPP (English for Academic and Professional Purposes) has been one of my favorite
subject ever since I entered Senior High School. Reason is that it mainly focuses on lessons that can
improve your reading comprehension and writing skills. With these lessons, it can help you in some
other school projects or outputs like your research paper and other literary based tasks. Another
reason why I liked EAPP, is that because it is the subject that bonded me and my classmates during
the first few weeks in Senior High School.
At the very first week we were literally so quite inside the room, not only in our class in
EAPP, but with the other classes as well. Until one morning, we had an activity prepared by our
teacher in EAPP, who is also our adviser. Now in that activity we had so much fun, and we were like
the noisiest people in the building at that time. Because of that activity, our bond as a class started
to grow stronger and much more becoming like a family. Last reason why EAPP is one of the best
subjects here in Senior high, is because of our teacher, adviser and second mother, Ma'am Joane L.
Guerrero. She's the most important reason why I like her subject, all of her activities she held for
the class, and the way she teaches every lesson. Makes everyone of us understood every lessons
she discussed. And that is why EAPP is one of the best subjects in Senior High School.

our reports. We learned also on how to write

a passage or a text in their specific Mariel U. Sazon
discipline. It helps us also in enhancing our
listening comprehension, reading, grammar,
writing, and vocabulary development. We
have now a much better understanding
about various information and how this

EAPP engages us a lot to learn not only in
writing but also in speaking.
 The Importance of Reading
Gabrielle A. Java
EAPP (English for Academic for Professional Purposes), along with my other subjects, taught me a lot of
things that are completely different from what I’ve learned during my junior years. I’ve experienced something new
and I realized that this is a part in my life where my literacy and communication skills would be tested. Back then,
we are only accustomed to book-based learning wherein we limit our knowledge by reading and learning only from
the books and other reading materials that were given to us. Now, we have to test how critical we are and how
broad our knowledge is. That’s when I realized, I don’t have that ‘monopoly’ of knowledge. But, that only means
that I still have a lot of space for growth. That’s why I’m grateful that we are able to go through the K-12 program

`
to learn how to be independent and learn how to properly write academic texts in preparation for college.
In EAPP, I learned how to differentiate academic from non-academic text. I also learned that critical
reading is an essential to fully understand and internalize whatever text we are reading. It was actually my first
time reading ‘Love is a Fallacy’ written by Max Shulman. I was able to test my critical reading skills through this text
and was able to grasp some concept about the fallacies stated. It was fun, actually.
One thing I’ve also learned is to write an outline and a summary. Back then, I really do not have the
know-how of writing a summary. It would always turn out to be too lengthy and wordy. Thanks to EAPP, I was able
to learn how to write in a proper way. My vocabulary has also improved greatly, because this subject also
encouraged me to read again (I was an avid reader back then, but due to the stress and too much school work, I
don’t have the energy to read). As it turned out, it made me fall in love in reading, all over again. We should learn
not only to appreciate novels or other non-academic texts, but also academic ones. I’ve realized that not a lot of
people can truly see the importance of thesis and dissertations published by other people because it is not a work of
fiction and they say it’s too boring. But for me, it isn’t. It is very useful when used as a reference when you conduct
your own research and you can gain a lot of additional knowledge from the works of others. I hope there’s more to
learn in this subject.
