Conference Rationale

A package of curriculum reforms is about to unfold beginning school year

2012-2013. This includes the K to 12 basic education curriculum, the upgrading of

the general education program, and the outcomes- and typology-based quality

assurance in higher education. Being concrete forms of educational change,

various stakeholders are preparing to manage their implementation and impact.

In particular, these reforms will require modifications in all spheres of language

teaching: matter, methods, materials, measurement, mentees’ needs that must

be met, and mentors’ roles to achieve the goal of developing functionally literate

citizens equipped with “21st Century skills” capable of meeting the demands of

the new digital economy where English is for now the global lingua franca.

With these challenges in mind, the Philippine Association for Language

Teaching (PALT) Inc. focuses on the theme “Managing Change” for its 2012

Summer Conference.

Objectives

After taking part in this conference that focuses on strengthening

teachers’ capabilities in managing change, participants are expected to:

1. affirm their roles as change managers in light of the education reform

initiatives that have bearing on the professional discipline of language

education;

2. explore potentials of indigenous materials and contexts in developing

language skills in one’s mother tongue and in the target language in the

early years;

3. realize the need for teaching approaches that facilitate the transfer of

language skills from one’s mother tongue to the target language;

4. articulate implications of a standards-based view of language teaching

in basic education, higher education, and technical-vocational

education; and

5. formulate a research agenda that will help monitor and evaluate the

outcomes of changes in language teaching brought about by state

education reforms.

PALT, Inc. Anthem

Conceived with a noble vision

Born in the sixties with a loving mission

To serve the teachers of the nation

In improving language instruction

An organization of language educators

With P.A.C. and T.E.S.O.L.

Raising the standards of education

Providing leadership and inspiration

We have gone half a century

For the sake of our learners and mentors

Be it Filipino, English or other languages

As we become a guiding light to all

Let's continue to live and dream

Let's continue to aim and train

May we remain aglow

With wisdom and knowledge

To embrace the world of languages

For God's greater glory

The betterment of teachers

And the benefit of learners

Hail the Philippine Association for Language Teaching

Hail the Philippine Association for Language Teaching

Hail P.A.L.T.!

Lyrics: Teresita P. Ignacio

PALT, Inc. extends its gratitude

to the Summer 2012 Conference Host:

This 90-year old school is nestled in the heart of La Trinidad, Benguet the straw-

berry capital of the Philippines.

Its history dates back to the time when the Baguio-La Trinidad road was only a

rough horse trail in 1916. That was the year when the La Trinidad Experiment Station of

the Bureau of Agriculture was turned over to the Bureau of Education. By this turn of

events, the La Trinidad Farm School was opened with 30 pupils in Grade V.

This development trail blazed the school's metamorphosis, as it expanded its services

and heightened its prominence in the area. According to earlier reports, the Farm

School was planned ultimately to develop into a large normal school, where the best

Igorot pupils will be given special training for the service as teachers among their own

people with emphasis on agricultural education.

The school was renamed La Trinidad National Agricultural School (LTNAS). Four

months later, it was nationalized and named the Mountain National Agricultural

School (MNAS). It was soon converted into the Mountain National College (MNAC);

Mountain Agricultural College ( MAC ); and eventually, the Mountain State Agricultur-

al College (MSAC) in 1969 through RA 5923.

On January 12, 1986 , the College was converted to a state university by virtue of

Presidential Decree (PD) No. 2010 signed by President Ferdinand E. Marcos. Initiatives

for this development started in the 70's when former Assemblyman Andres A. Cosalan

filed a bill for the elevation of the Mountain State Agricultural College to a University.

Later in 1984, the incumbent Congressman, Samuel M. Dangwa refiled the bill

with some amendments until PD 2010 was signed. Another local leader responsible for

the attainment of university status was former Benguet Governor Ben Palispis.

From 1916 until the late forties, the school was headed by Donato Cariño, James

A. Wright, J.R. Zollanger, Clayton Abbot, Glen Grisham, Russel Taylor, Clayton C.

Douglas, and Luis J. Dangilan.

Succeeding heads were Constancio T. Medrana, Julian Mamaril, Amado C. To-

lentino, Bruno M. Santos, Pedro Ventura, Antonio G. Dumlao, Lawana T. Batcagan,

Fortunato A. Battad, Lucio B. Victor, Cipriano C. Consolacion, Rogelio D. Colting and

the incumbent President Ben D. Ladilad.
