Abstract

In the light of qualitative phenomenological inquiry, this study explored the underlying knowledge on bilingualism through the lens of teachers’ perspectives. Five teachers in a certain public high school were interviewed then transcription, translation, intensive review of related literature, and thematic analysis were used to gather and validate data. Persons involved in the language events were teacher and principal, teacher and co-teacher, teacher and students, teacher and family members, and teacher and market vendor. Pair of languages found were English and Bisaya, English and Filipino, and Filipino and Bisaya with various dominant language found. Language events where bilingualism exists were meeting, casual conversation, class discussion, dinner, and product buying. Reasons of pairing a language used are “being used to†, type of people, and language events. The concept of bilingualism is a very important phenomenon to be understood.
