Abstract

This article evaluates the methods used in teaching language, culture, and translation in Filipino at the International Philippine School in Jeddah (IPSJ), as a Philippine community school that follows the curriculum provided by the Department of Education (DepEd). This will examine the challenges faced by the teachers in IPSJ and students of the school with a multicultural set-up. This will further articulate some concepts and cultural characteristics of Saudi Arabia and the Philippines that effect a faster or slower learning capacity among students of the related languages; these may be cultural characteristics that are similar or distinct between the two nations. Finally, this article will offer a few recommendations and materials for teaching based on the advice and suggestions of six (6) teachers from IPSJ interviewed by the author about teaching Filipino language and culture.
