English Excellence: Observing the Philippine Education System

That day, I was scheduled to observe Sir Justin’s class at 8:00 AM. I observed the Grade 9 Granite class, focusing on how Sir Justin opened the session, delivered the lesson, and concluded the class. The students in Grade 9 Granite were incredibly active and bright; almost all of them eagerly raised their hands to answer questions. They were also very polite and well-presented.

In the Philippines, English is an official language, so the students' English proficiency is quite impressive. All textbooks and references are in English, and the teachers use English as the primary medium of instruction. After the observation, I approached Sir Justin to submit my initial lesson plan.

Later, he invited me to observe Ma'am Irma’s 10th-grade class. I learned that the Philippine education system consists of four years of Junior High School and two years of Senior High School.
Note: I even managed to get an extra photo with Noah—he was so handsome I almost wanted to bring him home! haha.

After Ma'am Irma’s class, I met with Sir Justin again to discuss my lesson plan. He advised me to revise it with the help of my buddies, Ma'am Lea and Mr. Mark. They were incredibly helpful; we spent time in the campus library discussing and refining the plan.

Once the revisions were complete, I submitted the final version to Sir Justin. By the time I headed back to the dormitory, I felt exhausted from such a busy day, but it was a very productive experience.
