You plan to move to the Philippines? Wollen Sie auf den Philippinen leben?

There are REALLY TONS of websites telling us how, why, maybe why not and when you'll be able to move to the Philippines. I only love to tell and explain some things "between the lines". Enjoy reading, be informed, have fun and be entertained too!

Ja, es gibt tonnenweise Webseiten, die Ihnen sagen wie, warum, vielleicht warum nicht und wann Sie am besten auf die Philippinen auswandern könnten. Ich möchte Ihnen in Zukunft "zwischen den Zeilen" einige zusätzlichen Dinge berichten und erzählen. Viel Spass beim Lesen und Gute Unterhaltung!

Foreign Language Education in The Philippines (II)

While staying in Manila I was really blessed and honoured to meet several people with one mutual goal: "Teaching foreign languages in the Philippines". 

I have been also invited to the "Benchmarking Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education Development" (Practices and challenges in the 21st Century in Asia Pacific) in Pangasinan next January. Thank you Professor Vigilio Manzano of UP Diliman in Quezon City. 

Thanks a lot also to many people, who joined this conference in Manila. I love to express my gratitude to Dr. Teresita T. Tumapon, Dean and Vice President of Liceo de Cagayan University (among so many others) for giving many valuable advices. Thank you (und danke schoen) also to my friend, Mr. Helmut Frielinghaus from Goethe Institut Manila for so many inputs.

Why learning foreign languages (besides and in addition to English) in the Philippines?




Allow me to quote some expressions, I have learnt from the Goethe Institut:


"Peacekeeping, human rights or environmental protections are topics of global relevance that can only be addressed through dialogue between societies. Foreign languages are essential for this kind of dialogue. After all, even though English has long since been a university platform, additional  foreign languages do help to retrain individual identity and individualism. They also help to buildt bridges - for multicultural diveristy and intercultural tolerance."


While attending the said conference in Manila, I also came across the following statement given by Professor Ludwig Eichinger, Director for the German Language, Mannheim/Germany:


"Dies schlaegt sich nieder in den Aufgaben fuer die Sprachen und hat Folgen fuer die Raeume, in denen sie gelten. Das Deutsche ist die grosse Sprache in Europa, und es erstreckt sich ueber einen ganz erheblichen Raum!"

"This idea is reflected in the roles of the languages and has consequences for the geographical areas in which they are used!" ...


I also love to quote Dr. David Graddol of the "English Company (UK) Ltd.", who drams up studies on the future of the English for the British Council:

"The world is rapidly becoming multilingual. ... Fears that he expansion of the English language is threatening local languages will doubtless turn out to be unfounded. ... The manifest dynanism between globalisation and localisation is exerting pressure to retain local, linguistic identities. Over the next ten years, it will not so much be a question of "Do you speak English?", but rahter: "Of course you speak English, but else what can you offer"?

French, Spanish, Italian, Nihongo, Mandarin?

Hier kann man Deutsch lernen!/German Language Course in Davao City

 

Since almost two years the University of Southeastern Philippines in Obrero, Davao City offers German language courses for Filipinas and Filipinos. Six months ago I became faculty member for German language (Institute of Languages) with its Executive Director Dr. Patricia Elbanbuena. After teacher trainings (Goethe Institut Manila) I am not only using its study material. My course helps preparing my students to be ready for the G.I. exam.


Normally not more then 15 students attend classes.

 

   

Seit fast zwei Jahren bietet die University of Southeastern Philippines in Obrero, Davao City, Deutschkurse fuer philippinische Staatsbuerger an, die ich seitdem veranstalte. Vor ca. sechs Monaten wurde ich zum Fakultaetsmitglied (fuer deutsche Sprache) am Institute of Languages mit Direktorin Dr. Patricia Elbanbuena ernannt. Das Institut untersteht direkt dem Universitaets-Praesidenten Dr. Perfecto Alibin. 
Seit dem letzten Lehrertraining im Goethe Institut Manila verwende ich nicht nur das entsprechende G.I. Unterrichtsmaterial, sondern bereite meine Studenten entsprechend auf das G.I. Examen vor.

Christmas Party in Institute of Languages/USEP Davao City




It was indeed a very wonderful and meaningful Christmas Party in the Institute of Languages of the University of Southeastern Philippines. It's really an honour for me being invited to teach German language in this university.

The VP for Academic Affairs Dr. Daniel T. Ugay, Jr., the VP for Administration Dr. Rodulfo C. Sumugat, my good friend the Executive Director of the Institute of Languages Dr. Patricia O. Elbanbuena, our Administrative Assistant Shella Lariosa, teacher colleagues such as Joan Jontilano and Jojean Retardo-Kwak, Professor Fernando Magdato, Jr. from the Lifelong Studycenter, and many visitors from different university departments joined us.

The inspirational talks of the two vice presidents and Ma-am "Pattie" said it: "It's really an honour and privilege to be part of the USEP-family"!

+++++


Promotion on my own account: Start for new enrolments and for re-enrolments regarding the German Course will be on January 4, 2010.

HAPPY NEW YEAR and GOD BLESS!
