Bridging Regional Gap: A Documentary Analysis of the Philippines' Language and Culture as an Elective Subject in Higher Education

Author(s) Andrea Fenequito Cortel
Country Philippines
Abstract The more languages and cultures students know, the more opportunities they may open locally and internationally. The study delves into the pivotal role that language and culture play in fostering inclusivity within the educational landscape of the Philippines. It also explores the global reach of languages such as Filipino and Ilokano. This qualitative documentary and thematic analysis examines the role of language and culture as elective subjects in higher education in the Philippines, emphasizing their potential to bridge regional gaps. Through a systematic examination of educational practices, the findings reveal that integrating local languages and cultural studies into the curriculum fosters greater inclusivity and understanding among diverse student populations. The research highlights that such initiatives not only enhance students’ linguistic competencies but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for the rich cultural tapestry of the nation. Consequently, this analysis underscores the necessity for educational institutions to prioritize language and cultural education as vital components in addressing regional disparities and promoting national unity. Language and culture in general should not be promoted instead should be preserved and should be respected equally.
