Philippine literary production during the
American Period in the Philippines was spurred by two significant developments in education and culture. One is the introduction of free public instruction for all children of school age and two, the use of English as medium of instruction in all levels of education in public schools. WEEK-3 AMERICAN REGIME
Many Filipinos started writing again, and the
nationalism of the people remained undaunted. Filipino writers went into all forms of literature, like news reporting, poetry, stories, plays, essays, and novels. Their writings clearly demonstrate their love of the country and their longings for independence. PHILIPPINE LITERATURE IN ENGLISH
In a way, we can say that we can trace the
beginnings of Philippine literature in English to the coming of the Americans. For this purpose, we can divide this period into three-time frames, namely: THE PERIOD OF RE-ORIENTATION (1898-1910) PERIOD OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND GROWTH (1925-1941) THE PERIOD OF IMITATION (1910-1924) THE PERIOD OF RE-ORIENTATION(1898-1910)
August 13, 1898 - American Occupation.
By 1900, English had come to be used as a medium of instruction in public schools. By 1908, the primary and intermediate grades were using English. It was also about this time when UP, the forerunner in the use of English in higher education, was founded. THE PERIOD OF IMITATION(1910-1924)
In 1919, the UP College Folio published the
literary compositions of the first Filipino writers in English. They were the pioneers of short story writing. They were then grouping their way into imitating American and British models, which resulted in a stilted, artificial and unnatural style, lacking vitality and spontaneity. THE PERIOD OF IMITATION(1910-1924)
