Guide in the Language Review of DepEd-developed LRS
Objective: To review the language used in the assigned LRs and write marginal
notes to indicate errors found.
Mechanics:
1. Terms of Reference. The Learning Resource Evaluators (LREs) for language shall
perform the following roles and responsibilities:
1.1 Evaluate and check the assigned LRs for language and grammatical errors.
1.2 Write specific comments, findings, and recommended revisions on the margin of
the pages of the assigned modules.
1.3 Accomplish the Summary of Findings Report that shall guide the development
team in implementing the recommended revisions.
1.4 Submit the evaluated LRs with marginal comments and the duly accomplished
summary report on a staggered basis until all assigned LRs have been evaluated.
1.5 Discuss with the development team of the assigned LRs, if needed, to clarify
comments and recommended revisions made in your review.
2. You will receive the following materials:
2.1 Assigned LRs to be reviewed
2.2 Guide in the Language Review of DepEd-developed LRs
2.3 Summary of Language Findings template (Annex 1) – digital copy to be provided
3. Evaluate the assigned LRs one at a time. Carefully read the modules page by page to
identify language errors using the following guidelines in making your marginal notes:
Coherence and Clarity of Thought
1. Do the statements / phrases make sense?
2. Do the sentences in the paragraph contribute to one idea?
3. Are the thoughts / ideas logically sequenced?
4. Are conjunctions and transitional phrases used to link sentences or
paragraphs?
5. Is the choice of words / expressions appropriate?
6. Are the sentences too long or complex?
7. Is the language appropriate for the target readers?
Grammar and Syntax
Check the LRs for:
1. Agreement between subject and verb
2. Correct use of verb tenses
3. Misplaced/Dagling modifiers
4. Unclear antecedents and agreement between pronouns and their
antecedent
5. Faulty parallel construction
6. Split infinitives
7. Overuse of certain words
8. Redundancies
Spelling and Punctuation
1. Are words, whether local or foreign, correctly spelled?
2. Are the right punctuations in the right places?
2
3. Is the use of the serial comma (comma before and and or) observed?
Consistency in Style
1. Where alternative spellings are permitted, was a choice made and used
consistently throughout the material?
2. Is the need for the same tense or person observed?
3. Are the rules on capitalization, hyphenation, setting off in italics or boldface
followed?
4. Write your comments and findings on the margins of the module/s while examining the
LRs. Highlight the portion that needs to be improved / revised or where the error is
found. Specify comments, findings, and recommendations beside the highlighted portion
to guide the development team in revising the LR.
5. Re-read your written marginal notes and validate / confirm your comments / findings.
Make changes, if needed, to make your review as consistent and thorough as possible.
6. Based on your marginal notes, prepare a summary of findings report to indicate the
errors found in the module/s and the recommended revisions. Use the Summary of
Findings template in Annex 1.
7. After individual evaluation of each LR, immediately submit each LR with marginal
comments and the duly accomplished summary report on a staggered basis until all
assigned modules have been evaluated.
8. If deemed necessary, discuss your report with the development team/s or focal persons
to clarify findings and agree on the revisions and improvements to be made in the
modules evaluated.
