provides a good bridge to listening, speaking, reading, and writing the second language (L2) of
the classroom using sound educational principles for building fluency and confidence in using
the other languages for lifelong learning.” (Dekker,2010)

2. “Another way to grasp the concept of animatism is to differentiate the Cebuano terms gahum
and kasug. Gahum comes closer to the Tagalog galing, acquired power or skill as in the case
of politics, while kasug comes closer to the Tagalog word lakas, an almost innate power with
connotations of dynamism energy. Kusog and lakas are also adjectives that are used in other
context as in voice projection, where it means “loud” or “heavy.” Lakas or kusog is a closer
approximation of a powerful mystic force which is an important attribute of health itself, as
reflected in malakas ang katawan, ‘the body is strong.’ (Tan, 2008)
