I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into dead. On the third day He rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.

LECTURE I: Academic writing is a formal style of writing. This means it is different to other types of writing, and different from spoken English. There are 10 features you can apply to make your own writing more formal and professional. 10 Features of Academic Writing Feature What you need to do Use formal language rather than every day common language. Start by checking the Academic Word List. This is a list of the most frequently used words in academic writing. Example: ✓ Many fathers nowadays... ✗ Many dads these days... 1. Use formal vocabulary ✓ Major urban centres, such as London and Beijing... ✗ Major urban centres, like London and Beijing... ✓ There are a significant number of people who believe... ✗ There are lots of people who believe... ✓ There are three main reasons for this. ✗ There are 3 main reasons for this. 2. Use formal verbs Use formal verbs and avoid two-word verbs. Example: ✓ increase, decrease, discuss, improve, deteriorate, continue, raise IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 4 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 ✗ go up, go down, talk about, get better, get worse, go on, bring up Use the full form of verbs and avoid using contractions. Example: ✓ do not, cannot, will not, did not ✗ don't, can't, won't, didn't 3. Use full verbs Use formal structures/more complicated sentences such as clauses and noun phrases not just short simple sentences. Example: 4. Use formal grammar structures ✓ The increasing pollution of the environment is a global concern. ✗ The environment is increasingly polluted. This is a global concern. ✓ Note-taking, which is an important skill for EAP students, is difficult to master. ✗ Note-taking is an important skill for EAP students. It is difficult to master. 5. Use statements Make very clear and definite statements. Avoid using rhetorical questions because they make the writing seem weak. Example: ✓ There were four main reasons for the decline. ✗ What were the reasons for the decline? IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 5 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 ✓ Written English is different from spoken English. ✗ How are written and spoken English different? Use language such as ‘there is’ or ‘it is likely that’ rather than ‘I think’ or ‘I feel’. Example: ✓There are three main problems. ✗I can think of three main problems. 6. Use impersonal language ✓ In the experiment, the water was heated... ✗ In the experiment, I heated the water... ✓ There were very few errors in the experiment. ✗ Amazingly there were very few errors in the experiment. Provide concise, clear, and accurate statements, avoid vague or ambiguous statements. Use data wherever possible. For example, use “The Coalition was formed in 1923, some 24 years ago, and have a conservative ideology” rather than “The Coalition has been destroying the country for about a century” Example: 7. Be precise ✓ There are three main reasons for this. ✗ There are several reasons for this. ✓ The turning point was in the late 1980s. ✗ The turning point was about 30 years ago. ✓ There were three factors which led to this result. IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 6 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 ✗ There were three things which led to this result. 8. Use references and evidence Example: ✓ Russell (2001) states that over 50% of the population are unaware of the problem. ✗ Everybody knows that most people are unaware of the problem. ✗ Most people are unaware of the problem. 9. Use hedging statements Support your statements with evidence. Avoid making vague claims.: Use hedging statements or tentative language such as ‘may’, ‘its possible that’, ‘appears to’ to qualify statements. Avoid absolute statements and words such as 'always'. Example: ✓ Education may reduce crime. ✓ It appears that education reduces crime. ✗ Education reduces crime. ✓ This is possibly caused by the effects of global warming. ✓ This may be caused by the effects of global warming. ✗ This is caused by the effects of global warming. ✓ Chinese students often make mistakes with tenses. ✗ Chinese students always make mistakes with tenses. 10. Use transition words Use transition words at the start of some sentences to connect ideas together in an explicit and logical way. ‘In addition’, ‘In contrast’, ‘For this reason’. Do not use ‘but’, ‘and’, ‘so’ at the start of a sentence. Example: ✓ Turning to the question of inflation... IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 7 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 ✗ 2. Inflation. ✓ In addition, inflation is an important factor. ✗ And inflation is an important factor. Informative Essay An informative essay educates your reader on a topic. They can have one of several functions: to define a term, compare and contrast something, analyze data, or provide a how-to. They do not, however, present an opinion or try to persuade your reader. Examples are: animals, a country, a sport or club, cooking. Below is a list of more ideas. 1. The way homeless people survive 2. School textbooks cost 3. Childhood obesity: Causes and outcomes 4. Why does censorship on TV exist? 5. Talk about favorite book 6. The way cell phones functions 7. Useless school laws 8. The way gravity works 9. The life cycle of any insect of choice 10. Things that make bloggers popular 11. Building a wood cabin 12. What is Artificial Intelligence? What do I do? Make sure all your facts are accurate. You will need to write a topic sentence for each fact and write a focus sentence (thesis statement) for the entire essay. Create an outline that will organize your facts in a logical way. Then you will be ready to make your first draft. Brainstorm to come up with the list of great topics. Conduct research to find which of the offered topics has most of the related, credible, and up-to-date materials before making a final decision. Think about which of the potential topics would be the most beneficial for the reader. Example: Eating disorders are a relevant topic for the modern society. Informative Essay IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 8 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 Create a sound, tentative thesis statement before writing. Think about what you wish to share with the reader, reasons why the specific problem is important, and how to persuade the audience of the issue’s significance. It could be something like, “The progressing eating disorders caused 13% of the deaths in the United States during the last year.” If a student writes something like that, he/she should recall a source of the statistics. Write a draft. In the initial draft, list the questions related to the chosen topic along with the facts you know. Provide specific examples from real life to prove that the issue/ topic is real. Observe the selected topic online and in the library. It is important to choose credible, relevant, and up-to-date sources meaning they should not be older than 5 years (start from textbooks and end up with journals and scholarly articles). Interviewing people is another great way to collect information. Write the body. Edit using your 6-Traits of good writing sheet. A short view of an organizational outline Introduction 1. Define the topic (what smoking is). 2. Provide short background information on smoking (the way people obtain this bad habit, reasons to become addicted, and what happens if the person decides to quit smoking). 3. Create a thesis statement. It could be the relationship between the smoking and the increased risk of various dangerous lung diseases). Identify the scope of the informative essay. Main Body 1. Smoking and different risky lung diseases. 2. Describe the way smoking can impact human organism in other harmful ways (example: heart attack, brain activity, etc.) 3. The ways to quit smoking/release form this harmful addiction. Conclusion 1. Reword the thesis sentence(s). Recall the correlation between different types of lung and heart diseases and a bad habit such as smoking. 2. Reiterate the significance of the research on the outcomes of smoking. 3. Offer some forecasts for the future (example: “If the American nation does not quit smoking in the closest future, it might result in…”). “If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others; read a lot and write a lot.” IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC.

Be open to and ask for feedback. The point of a conversation is an exchange of ideas between two people, not a one-way street. 2. Never talk over people. This not only shows a lack of listening skills, but it also shows you don’t value what the speaker has to say. Alternatively, if you find that others always talk over you, consider that you might be long-winded and think about how you can tighten up your message. 3. Don’t finish other people’s sentences. You may think you’re sending the message that you “get” what they’re saying before they finish saying it; however, you’re telling them that whatever they’re saying isn’t worth listening to. IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 12 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 4. S.Y. 2021-2022 Paraphrase. When someone asks you to do something, repeat back to that person what they asked you to do in your own language. You’ve proven you not only listened to what they said, you also understood what they were asking for. 5. Listen actively. Have you ever been involved in a conversation where you can tell the other person is thinking about something else or isn’t even hearing what you’re saying? Don’t be that person. Let the speaker know you are connecting with them by nodding or responding when they ask a question. Keep your focus on the conversation at hand. 6. Maintain eye contact. Part of active listening is maintaining good eye contact. By doing so, you avoid being distracted by what is going on around you and you give the speaker non-verbal acknowledgment that you are listening. It’s okay to look away once in a while; staring intently at the person you’re speaking with can make that person uncomfortable. 7. Be aware of your body language. Without saying a word, you can speak volumes with your body language. Are your arms crossed? You aren’t open to another person’s idea. Are your hands on your hips? You’re being defensive. Be aware of what you are physically doing while you’re listening and speaking. 8. Avoid unnecessary conversation fillers, like “ums,” “uhs” and “likes.” They distract the listener from hearing your message. Think about what you’re going to say before you say it. 9. Be respectful of other people’s thoughts and opinions. While you may disagree with what the other party is saying, remember that (as difficult as it may be) they have a right to their own opinion. If you find yourself ready to pounce on the person you’re speaking with because their opinion is not in line with yours, wait until they’re done speaking and express your thoughts on the subject in a nonconfrontational manner. Even if, in the end, you wind up agreeing to disagree, you both walk away with a different viewpoint on a subject. IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 13 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 10. Practice. You know what they say: practice makes perfect. With the tips above in mind, attend various community networking events that require you to participate so you can practice good body language or active listening. Pay special attention to how well others communicate and emulate those you feel succeed at paraphrasing or maintaining eye contact. Types of nonverbal communication Facial expressions. The human face is extremely expressive, able to convey countless emotions without saying a word. Body movement and posture. This type of nonverbal communication includes your posture, bearing, stance, and the subtle movements you make. Gestures. Gestures are woven into the fabric of our daily lives. You may wave, point, beckon, or use your hands when arguing or speaking animatedly, often expressing yourself with gestures without thinking. Eye contact. The way you look at someone can communicate many things, including interest, affection, hostility, or attraction. Eye contact is also important in maintaining the flow of conversation and for gauging the other person’s interest and response. Touch. We communicate a great deal through touch. Think about the very different messages given by a weak handshake, a warm bear hug, a patronizing pat on the head, or a controlling grip on the arm, for example. Space. We all have a need for physical space, although that need differs depending on the culture, the situation, and the closeness of the relationship. You can use physical space to communicate many different nonverbal messages, including signals of intimacy and affection, aggression or dominance. Voice. It’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it. When you speak, other people “read” your voice in addition to listening to your words. Things they pay attention to include your timing and pace, how loud you speak, your tone and inflection, and sounds that convey understanding, such as “ahh” and “uh-huh.” Think about how your tone of voice can indicate sarcasm, anger, affection, or confidence.

Media literacy is the ability to identify different types of media and understand the messages they're sending. Information literacy includes the ability to identify, find, evaluate, and use information effectively. How can we determine truthfulness and accuracy of the materials viewed? 1. Who created this? Was it a company? Was it an individual? (If so, who?) Was it a comedian? Was it an artist? Was it an anonymous source? Why do you think that? 2. Why did they make it? Was it to inform you of something that happened in the world (for example, a news story)? Was it to change your mind or behavior (an opinion essay or a how-to)? Was it to make you laugh (a funny meme)? Was it to get you to buy something (an ad)? Why do you think that? 3. Who is the message for? Is it for kids? Grown-ups? Girls? Boys? People who share a particular interest? Why do you think that? 4. What techniques are being used to make this message credible or believable? Does it have statistics from a reputable source? Does it contain quotes from a subject expert? Does it have an authoritative-sounding voice-over? Is there direct evidence of the assertions its making? Why do you think that? What details were left out, and why? Is the information balanced with different views -- or does it present only one side? Do you need more information to fully understand the message? Why do you think that? 5. IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V.

Would everyone feel the same, or would certain people disagree with you? Why do you think that? LECTURE II: What Is Fake News? There are two kinds of fake news: 1. Stories that aren't true. These are entirely invented stories designed to make people believe something false, to buy a certain product, or to visit a certain website. 2. Stories that have some truth, but aren't 100 percent accurate. For example, a journalist quotes only part of what a politician says, giving a false impression of their meaning. Again, this can be deliberate, to convince readers of a certain viewpoint, or it can be the result of an innocent mistake. Either way, it quickly attracts an audience and can become entrenched as an "urban myth." 3. IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel.

It is often used to reveal a deeper meaning in IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 25 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 a narrative while highlighting characters’ motivations, values, and weaknesses. There are six main types of literary conflict, each of which is detailed below. Internal vs. External Conflict All conflict falls into two categories: internal and external. Internal conflict is when a character struggles with their own opposing desires or beliefs. It happens within them, and it drives their development as a character. External conflict sets a character against something or someone beyond their control. External forces stand in the way of a character’s motivations and create tension as the character tries to reach their goals. The 6 Types of Literary Conflict 1. Character vs. Self This is an internal conflict, meaning that the opposition the character faces is coming from within. This may entail a struggle to discern what the moral or “right” choice is, or it may also encompass mental health struggles. All other types of conflict are external—meaning that a character comes up against an outside force that creates the conflict. 2. Character vs. Character This is a common type of conflict in which one character’s needs or wants are at odds with another’s. A character conflict can be depicted as a straightforward fist fight, or as intricate and nuanced as the ongoing struggle for power in the HBO series Game of Thrones. 3. Character vs. Nature In a nature conflict, a character is set in opposition to nature. This can mean the weather, the wilderness, or a natural disaster. For example, in Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, the main character, Santiago finally manages to reel in a fish after months and months of bad luck. He fends off sharks, IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC. Madrid Blvd., Zone II, Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro Tel. No. (043) 284-7587 MARIA CHEYZELLE V. MORALES, LPT Designer 26 LEARNING MODULE IN ENGLISH 7 S.Y. 2021-2022 who are trying to steal his prized catch, but eventually they eat the fish—leaving Santiago with only a carcass. This is the essence of the man versus nature conflict: man struggles with human emotions, while nature charges forth undeterred. 4. Character vs. Supernatural Pitting characters against phenomena like ghosts, gods, or monsters raises the stakes of a conflict by creating an unequal playing field. Supernatural conflict also covers characters, like Harry Potter or Odysseus, who have a fate or destiny and struggle to accept the sacrifices that come along with it. 5. Character vs. Technology In this case, a character is in conflict with some kind of technology. Think of the tale of John Henry, the African American folk hero. In American folklore, Henry was a former slave who worked as a steel-driver on the rail line. To prove his superiority over new technology, he raced a steam-powered rock drilling machine and won. However, he suffered a heart attack after winning the race. 6. Character vs. Society A character vs. society conflict is an external conflict that occurs in literature when the protagonist is placed in opposition with society, the government, or a cultural tradition or societal norm of some kind. Characters may be motivated to take action against their society by a need to survive, a moral sense of right and wrong, or a desire for happiness, freedom, justice, or love. “Dialogue is the most effective way of resolving conflict.” -Tenzin Gyatso, The 14th Dalai Lama LESSON 27 Literature as a Tool to Assert One’s Identity and Philippine Literature the Values of Today’s Global Village MOST ESSENTIAL LEARNING COMPETENCIES IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY ACADEMY, INC.
