...And so I wrote a Villanelle!

Flock 

Atop our shrine unfit for kings

My flock awaits within their town

For feeding yummy seedy things.

That giant there and what it brings

A bowl of meal spread up and down

Atop our shrine unfit for kings.

And here they fly on tiny wings

With earthen plumage mostly brown

For feeding yummy seedy things.

A Jay drops in and briefly sings

A cardinal with its scarlet gown

Atop our shrine unfit for kings.

They glide, they rush, and wheel in rings

Enough to twist the chiseled frown

For feeding yummy seedy things.

Nests of twigs, maybe bits of strings

Lawless rebels to either crown

Atop our shrine unfit for kings

For feeding yummy seedy things.

TikTok: Your Gateway to English Mastery

  Introduction

In a world dominated by smartphones and social media, TikTok has emerged not only as a source of entertainment but also as a valuable tool for students worldwide to learn English. While skepticism might surround the idea of using a platform primarily known for short videos as an educational resource, there is substantial evidence supporting TikTok's effectiveness in language acquisition.

TikTok's Role in Learning

TikTok boasts several features that make it an excellent companion for English learners. Its visual and auditory nature aids in better comprehension and retention of new words and phrases. Moreover, its interactive platform enables users to connect with fellow English learners globally, offering valuable opportunities for practice and feedback from native speakers. However, it's important to acknowledge the platform's potential pitfalls, such as inappropriate or irrelevant content, and inconsistencies in grammar and pronunciation among users. Educators play a pivotal role in mitigating these challenges by curating content and providing guidance and support. In the grand scheme, TikTok proves itself as a valuable tool for students eager to enhance their language skills, with its benefits outweighing its drawbacks.

How Do Educators Approach Using TikTok in Class?

Educators have discovered innovative ways to integrate TikTok into the learning process. Their approach involves various stages: Stage 1: Introduction and Discussion Educators introduce students to the app, explaining its functionality and potential benefits. Open discussions are encouraged to address both positive aspects and concerns, fostering a collaborative learning atmosphere. Stage 2: Exposure and Participation Students are encouraged to watch short videos to gain insights into the video creation process. They then engage in scriptwriting and reading aloud, actively participating in content production. Stage 3: Rehearsals and Progress Practical rehearsals and practice sessions follow, allowing students to break language barriers and develop creativity. TikTok's popularity outside the classroom further reinforces language acquisition. Teachers report significant progress, with up to 75% of students displaying improved English comprehension.

The Challenges of Learning English Through TikTok

While TikTok offers numerous benefits for English learners, challenges exist: Content Appropriateness Not all TikTok content is suitable for educational purposes. Screening content is essential to ensure students access appropriate material. Grammar and Pronunciation Variances The app's user-generated content may exhibit inconsistencies in grammar and pronunciation. Educators must provide guidance and encourage learners to supplement their TikTok-based learning with other resources.

Educators can utilize TikTok to post educational videos that aid students in learning and practicing the English language. It also provides a global platform for English teachers to collaborate and share valuable resources.  

Conclusion

Little help, the basics

Hellohen,

Lets bring you some pag-ibig.

Okay tara lets do this. When you hit the grounds of the Philippines for the first time or your visiting occasionally and you want to speak Taglish (Tagalog and English) mixed or just the basics of Tagalog. Here are the basics of Tagalog to help you all out.

I gave you some examples for to speak Tagalog, they enjoy that foreigners try to speak their language, so don’t worry with English you can do it perfectly as well there. But one warning some words in Tagalog has another meaning in a language when you travel through the Philippines. Yes it’s not a dialect what they speak, but a language.

-Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things- Flora Lewis
