摘要

Once it claimed to have more English speakers than all but two other countries, and it has exported millions of them. But these days Filipinos are less boastful. Three decades of decline in the share of Filipinos who speak the language, and the deteriorating proficiency of those who can manage some English, have eroded one of the country's advantages in the global economy.rnThis week children trooped back to school for the new academic year. The government-approved textbooks they will study illustrate the problem. A passage in one for eight-year-olds reads: "The dog rolled on the floor so fast and fell on the ground. There he laid yelling louder than ever. The dog yelled on top of his voice." A book for 11-year-olds advises, mysteriously: "Just remember this acro-rnwhite markers cut out of polythene bags are still planted along the narrow rubble lane to the cemetery. Mrs Malini's teenage son was buried there in an unmarked grave on May 12th. The army brought his remains in a sealed coffin, with a framed statement calling him a hero. He had served for less than six months.
