I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

There are many different text types that you may encounter in a single day. You
may read a newspaper article in the morning, then write a letter (or email) to a friend,
follow a recipe to make dinner, fill out an application form, and pick up a leaflet before
you finally savor a good storybook at bedtime. In this lesson, we’ll take a look and
examine the purpose of each of these text types.

The table shows the different factual text types.

Filipino Learners Learn the New Way

The implementation of the new learning modalities is no joke!

There are several opinions, beliefs, observations, and views on


the new learning modalities in the Philippine education system. There
are some who reacted negatively and some others embrace the new
learning modalities positively. Issues on the difficulties of learners’
coping on the new way of learning, teachers’ way of teaching, and
financial worries of parents have been raised. Undeniably, the learning
modalities are truly unusual and challenging not just to learners but to
the teachers as well. Delivering lessons through modules and online
classes in different subjects has surely challenged the capacity and
patience of learners, parents, and teachers.

This entails hard work among the proponents to make things


possible. Financial, physical, mental, and emotional attributions must be
considered as well. Salute to all concerned individuals who have made
the new normal learning modalities possible.

Gradually, learners and teachers have learned to appreciate the


new learning modalities.

The Filipinos are hopeful that even in this time of COVID-19


pandemic, the new learning modalities would bring positive effects on the
teaching-learning process in the Philippines.
