An Academic Speech Discourse Analysis Among Filipino Migrants in Alberta, Canada: A Dell Hyme’s Speaking Model Approach

Author(s) Lourdes Marie Vergara Misena-

Abstract Language is the basis of human existence; it is the instrument through which people comprehend, articulate, and receive messages. The fact that these students can communicate in the English language creates great interest for Filipino students in a Canadian education. However, adjusting to life and work in Canada can be difficult, whereas academics attract Filipinos. Discourse analysis allows linguistic study while capturing the meaning of a text in a scenario, i.e., outside the depth of a single word.

The study looks into the academic development of Filipino students in Canadian universities through the lens of support, inclusivity, multiculturalism, and workload. They talk about academic subjects, conducting sessions within a classroom or online setting. Discussions are usually clear, courteous, and polite. As the participants recount their experiences, they note issues related to accents, intelligibility, and the rate of speaking concerning English language and culture adaptations in the Canadian setting.

The study stresses the importance of respect toward each speaker, selecting appropriate tones and voices in communication, and proper turn-taking during discussions. A knowledge of different cultures is equally valuable for appropriate response and mitigation of possible misinterpretation. Successful relationships and an inclusive atmosphere thrive on the basis of culture-specific instructions in communication.
