Putting smile on the faces of both learners and teachers is essential in teaching-learning process for smile reflects joy and satisfaction in the acquisition of quality learning.
This is one of the core reasons why Mr. Miguel B. Ularte, Education Supervisor I - English chose a project, Crafting A Module As Supplementary Material, that will surely bring smile to teachers and learners in their daily lessons. To this, the proponent of the project had chosen Gov. Feliciano Leviste Memorial National High School as the experimental school to craft a module and to test its effectivity for English Grade 8 entitled “Project SMILE” (Supplementary Materials In Instilling Learning Experiences) which aims to augment the growing needs for instructional materials in the Division of Batangas Province.
There are 1,539 Grade 8 students in GFLMNHS wherein these learners have no books or other learning materials in English. Because of this everyday problem in their English classes, the learners have become inattentive and less focused in their lessons. Difficulty in searching for additional activities and downloading materials based on the K to 12 Curriculum to assist the need for enrichment/ intervention is one of the many problems met by the teachers. Thus, mean percentage score and proficiency level during quarterly assessments and daily performance are very low compared to other learning areas where learning packages are provided.
These scenarios led the English teachers to come up with supplementary materials to help both the teachers and the learners. Through the abled leadership of Dr. Aprilito C. De Guzman, GFLMNHS principal IV and Mrs. Mary Jane D. Baral, HT VI of English department, GFLMNHS English teachers readily agreed to the proposal made by Mr. Miguel B. Ularte, EPS -I in English of Division of Batangas Province to craft a module that can help them address their problems through Project SMILE.
Through this module, it is expected that the results will be beneficial to both teachers and learners resulting to better the quality of the teaching learning process.
