Colloquialism Among Meranaw Teenagers in the Junior High Schools of MSU Marawi Campus
Full text linkOver the course of time, scholars have engaged in multifaceted inquiries into the realm of language, in order to explain its origin, describe its development and changes, analyze its relationship with other sciences and recognize its importance to daily activities. Within linguistic discourse and documentation, a notable focus emerges on the nuanced levels of language usage, particularly the informal expressions that permeate everyday conversations. This study explored the colloquial verbal expressions of Meranaw teenagers in the contemporary era, employing a descriptive research design focused on junior high school students from Mindanao State University (MSU) - Marawi City, specifically MSU-ILS (Integrated Laboratory School), MSU-UTC (University Training Center), and MSU-LNCAT (Lanao National College of Arts and Trades). Through self-made structured questionnaire and interview, the findings reveal that teenagers, as observed, adeptly wield words through various processes like coinage, compounding, blending, and more. Their dynamic use of language reflects a rapidly evolving linguistic landscape, driven by innovation and usage. The creation of colloquial expressions, often originating playfully, contributes to the formation of colloquialisms. Notably, slang terms either fade or endure, influencing mainstream lexicons. Additionally, the study underscores the significance of multilingualism among young Meranaw speakers. They seamlessly navigate between Meranaw, English, and Tagalog, even incorporating Arabic, Korean, and Japanese. This linguistic flexibility, expressed through code-switching within sentences, reflects the diverse linguistic environment shaped by both community ties and peer influences. With all these recurring dynamism, the study recommends efforts to strengthen the Meranaw language, addressing language moribundity concerns for the new generation. Further research on grammar, orthography, and linguistic features is suggested for comprehensive language planning and development, contributing to a deeper understanding of Meranaw teenagers' discourse and recent language developments

Social Conflict in the Linguistic Landscape of Teen Language in the Digital Era
Full text linkThis study investigates social conflicts associated with teen language use on social media and messaging applications such as WhatsApp, TikTok, and Instagram, as well as within the communication focus of schools and learning surroundings. The main research issue revolves around the tensions caused by the use of informal youth language, including slang, abbreviations, emojis, code switching, and the tensions from adults expecting a more formal communicative structure. This research employs an ethnographic approach, specifically the youth language analysis via metadata and corpus-based techniques. This study incorporated observations as well as focused and conflict-centered, specifically student-teacher, deep interviews. The principal findings state that the use of informal language and the clash of its use within the expectations of the school and learning habitat is a major source of conflict, thus contributing to the overall "understanding" of the intergenerational language clash. This along with the rapid dissemination of digital trends has contributed to social conflict. This research aims to bridge the gaps in literature by identifying the socio-communicative functions of youth language and by demonstrating the need to revise the intercooled framework of interaction to enhance effective school and digital communicatio
An Error Analysis of Subject-Verb Agreement in GEC102 Students’ Sentences: Basis for a Learning Guides
Full text linkThe study's objectives were to give a learning guide and assess the respondents' subject-verb mistakes in the sentences. The study specifically aimed to address the following questions: What is the age and sex profile of the respondents? Which of the respondents' sentences include subject-verb errors? And what kind of learning guide is needed? The frequency count and simple percentage were employed in the analysis of the collected data to identify subject-verb mistakes in the sentences and to ascertain the profiles of the respondents. Moreover, the study's respondents were MSU–Lanao National College of Arts and Trades BEED-1A and BSED-1A students enrolled in GEC102 (Purposive Communication) during the first semester of the 2025–2026 academic year. The findings unveil that the majority of the respondents made mistakes with the sentences: (1) He always go (goes) to church on Sunday, with 79.49% errors; (2) In the morning, Inez drink (drinks) two cups of coffee, with 61.54% errors; and (5) Min Ju and her brother does (do) not talk to each other, with 84.62% errors. The results also imply that they erred in the action verbs' singular and plural forms. It is recalled that an action verb is plural in its root form. Additionally, it becomes singular when -s or -es is added to the verb. On the other hand, few of the respondents made a mistake on sentence (8) "The police is (are) coming right now," with 28.21% errors. This may indicate that most of them were proficient in using the linking verbs. The findings showed that even if the majority of respondents made mistakes in just three (3) out of ten (10) sentences, it was still advised to give the respondents a learning guide

Level of Compassion Satisfaction and Compassion Fatigue Among Selected Teachers in the Philippines and the United States of America
Full text linkTeachers’ compassion often motivates them to go the extra mile in supporting their students, which provides personal and professional satisfaction. However, this dedication can also lead to compassion fatigue, manifested as burnout and secondary traumatic stress. This study aimed to identify the levels of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue among teachers and examine their relationship with demographic profiles, including age, sex, years of teaching experience, and the country of current employment. A standardized questionnaire was administered via Google Forms to 50 teachers from the United States and the Philippines using purposive sampling. The study employed a descriptive-comparative research design. Descriptive statistics, including percentages and mean scores, were used to summarize the data, while the Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis Test were applied to determine significant differences between groups. Results indicate that the majority of respondents are female, aged between late 30s to 40s, and have more than five years of teaching experience. Overall, teachers reported experiencing compassion satisfaction “very often,” suggesting a high sense of fulfillment in their roles as compassionate educators. In contrast, burnout and secondary traumatic stress were rated as “sometimes,” indicating variability in the experience of compassion fatigue. Significant differences were observed in compassion satisfaction across age groups and years of teaching experience, with older and more experienced teachers reporting higher satisfaction. Burnout was more prevalent among teachers in the United States, whereas secondary traumatic stress was more pronounced among teachers in the Philippines. Based on these findings, the study recommends strategies to minimize and manage compassion fatigue among teachers, thereby enhancing their well-being and sustaining their professional effectiveness
Classroom-Based Assessment Practices and Challenges of Primary Teachers: Basis for A Proposed Upskilling Program
Full text linkThe study explored the classroom-based assessment (CBA) practices and challenges of primary teachers in the West Butuan District as the basis for a proposed upskilling program. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the investigation utilized a validated survey questionnaire administered to 44 primary teachers, supplemented by a focus group discussion (FGD) to capture contextual and experiential insights. Quantitative data were analyzed using weighted mean and Spearman Rho correlation, while qualitative responses were thematically coded. Findings indicated that while primary teachers demonstrated a generally high level of knowledge in key CBA domains—Table of Specifications (TOS), item development, test administration, scoring, and item evaluation—gaps remained in the practical application of this knowledge, particularly in ensuring test coverage, managing assessment time, and conducting item analysis. Statistically significant correlations were found between knowledge in all five CBA domains and actual assessment practices. The FGD further revealed persistent challenges, including limited training in item evaluation, difficulty in constructing time-bound assessments, and misalignment between test items and instructional objectives. In response, a three-day face-to-face upskilling program was developed to address these gaps through collaborative workshops, real-time feedback, and hands-on output creation, with the goal of improving assessment quality, enhancing instructional planning, and promoting better learner outcomes
Parent-Assisted Early Literacy and Numeracy Practices: Basis for A Proposed Intervention Program
Full text linkPre-reading and numeracy skills of kindergarten learners currently lack substantial scientific evidence, and continuously pose a challenge in all early childhood learning institutions. To delve into this issue, the researcher conducted a study to find out how the parent-assisted early literacy practices affected pre-reading and numeracy skills as basis for designing an intervention program. A descriptive correlational research design was used in order to attain its objectives. The respondents of the study were the parents or guardians of the kindergarten learners of the three elementary school of Esperanza II, Division of Agusan del Sur who were chosen through cluster sampling and which sample size was determined through Slovin’s formula. Self-made research instruments were used to answer the problems of the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to measure the level of parent-assisted early literacy practices, while frequency and percentage were used to describe levels of the pre-reading and numeracy skills of kindergarten learners. Moreover, significant relationships were measured using Spearman Rho correlation. The findings of the study revealed that the level of parent-assisted early literacy practices in terms of reading and numeracy were satisfactory and very satisfactory, respectively. Further, significant relationship existed between parent-assisted early literacy practices and pre-reading skills in terms of phonological awareness, and numeracy skills in terms of number knowledge, number representation, and basic operation on addition and subtraction. An intervention program was crafted based on the findings of the study
