Macro-skills of structured lessons
All human beings bring into the world an innate faculty for language acquisition, language use, and grammar construction. It is the internalization of the rules of grammar in one's first language from a more or less random exposure to various utterances. The language learners are very able to construct new, grammatically acceptable sentences from material they have already heard. Unlike the parrot in human society, they are not limited to mere repetition of utterances.
Language acquisition could not take place "through habit formation" because language is far too complicated to be learned in such a manner, especially given the brief time available. There is an innate capacity of human beings who get possessed and predisposed them to look for fundamental patterns in language. People could create utterances they could not have possibly encountered in a language that was spoken to them.
In first-language acquisition, young children have certain innate characteristics that predispose them to learn a language. These characteristics include the structures, which enable the children to make the sounds used in language, and the ability to understand a number of general grammatical principles, such as the hierarchical nature of syntax. Children acquire whatever language is spoken around them, even if their parents speak a diverse language.
An interesting feature of early language acquisition is that children seem to depend more on semantics than on syntax when speaking. Furthermore, the acquisition of language facility is one of the most interesting but perplexing phenomena in learning. The learners' ability to speak is marvelous and his mastery in other areas of learning such as listening, reading and writing gives a clear indication that he has the distinct opportunity of being a learner of a fantastic classroom teacher.

Sample treatment of data: SPSS version 14
SPSS can deal automatically with complex files, the characteristics of the subjects, especially the aforementioned first year students of Minglanilla National Science High School as respondents of this study, are described as mean and SD or proportions (%), if nothing else is indicated.
Student's t-test was used for comparison of continuous variables. Nonparametric McNemar's test or Kendall's W test was used to examine the change in categorical variables over time within groups. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used for the correlation analyses.
SPSS version 14, as precisely used in this treatment of data with regard to the title “Effectiveness of Structured Macro-skills’ Development Lessons in English,” determined the level of language proficiency, the mean pretest and posttest scores, significant difference in the mean pretest and posttest scores, mean gain posttest scores, including standard deviation, standard error mean and correlations of the macro-skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing.
For the students’ research, the data gathered in this study were analyzed also using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 14, a computer program used for statistical analysis. Thus, the treatment of data on the succeeding tables 5-9 was done due to SPSS version 14, a software system for data management and analysis.

Subject teacher and students encounter conflicts
The unresolved classroom problem is a disturbing phenomenon, as well as perplexing scenario which needs reflective thinking for its clever solution. But when a teacher already knows precisely what to do to resolve the conflict, the difficulty can be lessened until it will boil down and finally vanish into thin air. But when a student has to think hard in order to be able to expand the perplexing situation, the difficulty becomes the worst problem which needs also an immediate pacification. The role of a teacher, doing the right thing in life takes guts and priority. It is very hard to do the right thing, especially when you are faced in a scenario that encapsulates classroom conflict and antagonism. The role also of a teacher can promote a positive and safe learning environment which is a prerequisite for peace, respecting the dignity and rights of all students.
The problems, conflicts, etc. arising from day-to-day teaching experiences of the faculty members and learning experiences of the students are gradually resolved among teachers with utmost deliberation, scrutiny, fairness and judgment. Preliminary actions will be done and fully carried out through solutions of the problems, and occurrences that need constant academic erudition, suggestions hurled during confrontations, educational implications, teaching-learning cues, including conclusions made during group discussions.
Discipline and classroom management seem to be the most under-taught in both private and public schools. A school head knows a number of teachers who go into the job with lots of theories, but no ideas on how to apply them in situations that involve problem-students and constant disruptions. Any principal of a public school tries his best to pan out with the school operations and instructional plans and objectives. He deals with the most emerging problems and situations encountered by the faculty members like dealing with difficulties in the classroom, encouraging civil behavior in small and large classes, managing classroom conflict, teacher's credibility and handling disruptive students.

Poem: Student's life as a campus journalist!
The life of a student
Is something that
Can’t be predicted,
And it is
Unpredictable
In the sense
That it gives
Unpredictable
Circumstance
Beyond doubt.
It’s something that can’t
Be denied
Despite the challenges
In life
Even in one’s writeup
Based on personal
Observation and feelings
Can’t bring to the right path
And can’t bring to eternal rest
Of misery and damnation
One thing that unites the
Student’s plight is through
Journalism…
I’ll reiterate…
That the life of a student
Is something that can’t
Be predicted, and it is
Unpredictable in the
Sense that it gives
Unpredictable circumstance
Beyond reasonable doubt
It’s something that can’t
Be denied despite the
Challenges in life
Even in one’s challenge
Based on personal
Observation and emotions
Can’t bring to the right path
And can’t bring eternity
One thing that unites the
Student’s plight is through
Journalism…
High school journalism
Let’s inform them,
Enlighten them,
and help them cope!
Our mission, our vision…
High school journalism…
Inform them…
Enlighten them…
Help them cope.
Look out for them.
High school journalism
Carries with it
The same responsibilities
As professional journalism.
Our mission
Is that
Our most professional
Responsibility
Is to publish
A school paper
That truly serves
The readers.
Inform them.
Enlighten them.
Help them cope.
Look out for them.
That’s our mission.
Create a school paper
That you hope
Will make
A difference
In our lives.
Have a vision
Of where you want
Your school paper
To go,
And what you want
It to be,
And seek
That vision
Daily.
Oh, I'll repeat for the nth time...
