Linguistic landscape refers to the language used in public spaces, particularly signs, billboards, and posters. This study explored the signage of public schools in Lapu- Lapu City. This study looked into the signs' language patterns (phrases, grammar, tone, etc.), what the signage reflects about the nature of the school, the identities that the school wants to declare, the possible reason why a particular font, choice of color, logo, symbols, etc. are used; the communicative functions they entail; and the advertising appeals they belong to. The researchers made transmittal letters signed by the School's Dean and each principal to carry on with the study. After permission was sought, the researchers captured images of the various signs and public displays in buildings, classrooms, and common areas around the school to analyze and describe the signs in detail. The findings presented the multiple classifications of signs, the interconnection of visual and linguistic elements in conveying the message, the reflection of the school's nature through the signs, the different functions associated with signage, and the advertising appeals, such as rational and emotional appeals. This study offers a comprehensive analysis of linguistic landscapes in school signage as it explores the languages and modes used and what they reveal about the school and the people. It is recommended that schools consider replacing torn and old signs with new ones, especially those that are no longer relevant, timely, or effective in providing the intended message.

Grammar is essential in maintaining clarity, coherence, and precision in communication, but many students struggle with English grammar proficiency. This research examines the Think Board Strategy's efficacy in raising English grammar proficiency among Grade 6 students at Ibabao Elementary School. The research targeted the participants' English grammar proficiency level before and after using the think board strategy, the difference between the participant's English grammar proficiency level, to what degree the think board strategy improved, the learning experiences the participants preferred, and suggesting recommendations. The researchers employed a quasi-experimental pretest-post-test design with 31 student participants selected through whole enumeration and random sampling. The research also used a pretest and posttest survey to gather data; it contained the quantitative (mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test). Findings reveal an improvement in students' grammar skills as scores improved at the posttest. Moreover, students found the Think Board Strategy very helpful as it provided organization, collaboration, and the ability to engage. This research concludes that the Think Board Strategy effectively builds grammar ability and recommends its inclusion in regular English classes.

This studyemployed a qualitative research design with a descriptive phonological approach, thestudy analyzed recurring English words and sentences in vlogs to identify both JapaneseEnglish segmental and suprasegmental features. The findings of the study revealedaconsistent phonological patterns shaped by Japanese English, alongside with instancesofnear-native pronunciation in sounds such as /ɑ/, /dʒ/, /n/, and /ŋ/, likely a result ofrepeated exposure to General American English through the use of digital media. Suprasegmental phonological features showed variation in intonation and a tendencytomisplace stress patterns, it suggests both influence from Japanese phonology and adaptiveuse driven by the communicative demands of content creation. These results indicatedthat informal, technology-driven language exposure may foster a greater phonological proficiency than traditional learning, a grammar-focused instruction. It is recommendedthat English language educators integrate an authentic digital content into teachingpractices.
