| description | This paper discusses the coexistence of Filipino, English, some Philippine regional languages, and foreign languages in a multilingual academic setting, the Bulacan State University. To date, more than 35,000 students and 1,000 faculty members and personnel from different ethnolinguistic groups converge on the five campuses of this institution of higher learning. This multilingual environment poses some challenges in determining the status of English and Filipino in the formulation of a university-wide language policy (LP). Given the situation that the University articulates its position in the intellectualization, modernization, and globalization of Filipino along with the inclusion of some foreign languages across the curriculum, this paper locates the places of English and Filipino in a multilingual academic environment by describing the language profile and attitudes of administrators, faculty members, students, and personnel. As this paper presents the diversified perspectives of the subject-respondents on the status of the two languages in the curriculum, it aims to identify some issues that need to be addressed in formulating a university-wide LP. |
