Abstract
This study explored on the culture of journal writing among the Senior High School Manobo students. The purpose of this qualitative morpho-semantic and syntactic study was to discover the morphological, semantic and syntactic features of the written output through morphological, semantic and syntactic categories, present in their journal writings. Also, beliefs and practices embedded in the norms, values, and ideologies were identified. The study was conducted among the Manobo students in the Senior High Schools of Central Mindanao, particularly in the Division of North Cotabato. Findings revealed that morphologically, the features that flourished are the following: subject-verb concordance, tenses, Pronouns, Prepositions, Articles, and the use of adjectives.Semantically, the features are the following: word choice, idiomatic expression, borrowing, and vernacular. Syntactically, the features are: the types of sentences according to structure and function; and the dominance of code switching and run-on sentences.Lastly, as to the beliefs and practices embedded in the norms, values, and ideologies of their journal writing, the major themes are:valuing education, family and friends as treasure, preservation of culture, and emancipation from the bondage of poverty.This study has shed light on the writing capabilities and weaknesses of the Manobo students when it comes to English language. Further, such an insight into language learning problems is useful to teachers because it provides information on common trouble-spots in language learning which can be used in the preparation of effective teaching materials.
