Language profile, metacognitive reading strategies, and reading comprehension performance among college students
This study dealt with the students' language profile, metacognitive reading strategies, and reading comprehension performance adopting the descriptive-correlational method of the four hundred forty-six randomly selected students enrolled in the colleges of Forestry, Education, Engineering, Computer Science, and Information Technology in a Philippine State University. Instruments used to gather data were based on an expert validated 20-point comprehension test taken from a short story selection and an adopted 30-point Metacognitive Awareness Reading Inventory (MARI). Findings revealed that Tagalog was the most commonly spoken by the respondents, followed by Iloco and English with moderately high reading comprehension performance and average level in terms of familiarity and attitude towards the Filipino language. The Problem-Solving Strategies (PROB) was the most frequently used, followed by the Global Reading Strategies (GLOB) and the Support Reading Strategies (SUPP). The familiarity with the Filipino language and the use of Problem-solving Metacognitive Reading Strategies were found to have a significant relationship to students' reading comprehension performance.

Can speakers of different languages be saying the same thing? Influences of non-native language exposure and explicit comparison on children’s language awareness
Language awareness (LA)—an understanding of the communicative functions and conventions of language—could benefit monolingual children as they navigate their increasingly multilingual world. To evaluate how non-native language exposure influences English-speaking children’s understanding that different languages can convey equivalent information, 63 5–7-year-olds compared utterances in English and Lithuanian (unfamiliar to all participants). Half of the children also compared English utterances to Spanish (a widely spoken language in their community—94% of children had some past exposure), whereas the other half compared English utterances to Tagalog (unfamiliar to all participants). Children in the Spanish condition were significantly more likely than those in the Tagalog condition to agree that a Lithuanian and an English speaker could be saying the same thing. We argue that children’s experience with Spanish as a community language, coupled with explicit questioning about commonalities between languages, served to scaffold an understanding of LA.

Semantic Verb Classes and Regularity of Voice Paradigms in Tagalog
There are two major hypotheses regarding regularity of voice paradigms in Tagalog: (i) the voice system is chaotic; and (ii) any voice form is possible, given availability of relevant participants. This paper aims at testing a third hypothesis, one that suggests that verb roots of similar semantics may form similar voice paradigms. A survey of native Tagalog speakers was conducted to elicit acceptability judgments for a questionnaire consisting of locative, instrumental, benefactive, and causal voice forms for 20 verb roots that were grouped into four intuitively established semantic classes, in order to test if there are differences between roots in the ability to promote such participants—which have little semantic dependence on the type of the predicate they cooccur with—into the subject position with an appropriate voice form. The survey results point at validity of the established semantic classes and at a tendency for regularity in them.
