For 21-23 Items. Direction: Read the texts carefully. Find the thesis statement and choose the letter of the correct
answer.
Previous studies revealed that meaning-focused instruction (MFI) and form-focused instruction (FFI) are two
of the most effective approaches in developing the overall language skills of second language learners,
separately. However, no experimental studies have been conducted to prove their effectiveness when
integrated. This study, therefore, aims to fill in this gap by investigating the effects of combining MFI and FFI in
developing the speaking, writing, and grammar skills of selected secondary ESL students in the public high schools
in the Philippines. The participants involved in this study are 480 third year high school students. These students
were divided into four groups: Group A (n=120) received both MFI and FFI, Group B (n=120) received MMI only,
Group C (n=120) received FFI only, and Group D (n=120) received the standard English programme for secondary
ESL students.

21. What is the thesis statement in the text above?

Filipinos are frequent moviegoers. Perhaps because of the comic relief that comedy films promise, or
the fairytale ending we all want to have that the rom-coms provide, we indulge in the cinematography of moving
pictures. In the 1984 Guinness Book of Word Records, the Philippines was listed as the nation with the world’s most
avid film-going public, averaging 19 trips to the cinema per year, per person (Yeatter, 2007). In a more recent
statistic, the country has also been known to have the highest level of theatre admission in South-East Asia, with 63
million moviegoers in 2004 (“Phil. Indie films,” n.d.). More often than not, movie theatres all over the Metro are
filled with people who want to break out from their usual working routine to catch a two-hour movie with
friends. Oddly enough, however, we as constant consumers of these motion pictures tend to patronize those
that are made particularly international.

22. What is the thesis statement in the text above?

a. 1st sentence b. 2nd sentence c. 3rd sentence d. 4th sentence

Generally, the common set of internationalization of higher education highlights the importance of promoting
cultural diversity and fostering intercultural understanding, respect, and tolerance among people (Turner and
Robinson, 2007). These reiterations of what internationalization of higher education should emphasize are
actually based on the profound belief that the cultural heritage of people is universal and humankind shares the
bond of humanity and global citizenship in the process of advancement of knowledge (Wing, 2010)… Exploratory
in nature, this paper aims to examine the key concepts on IHE. Specifically, this paper reviews articles which will
shed light on the significant ideas, and proposes a preliminary framework for IHE in the Philippines.
