This study examines pedagogical shifts in English instruction in Philippine basic education by comparing two critical curricula: the K-12 English curriculum and the newly implemented MATATAG Curriculum. While previous studies have analyzed individual curricula, none have compared these two pivotal frameworks to date; therefore, a comparative analysis offers a groundwork for informed decision-making in English language curriculum development. This investigation seeks to trace the evolution of pedagogical approaches, with a particular focus on adopting learner-centered approaches, integrating digital technologies, and promoting inclusive practices. These three instructional perspectives promote forward-thinking, student-centric approaches that align with current educational reforms. Employing content and documentary analysis, and a critical review of curricular frameworks and policy documents, this study is poised to uncover key trends and transformations in pedagogies and to explain how English language instruction in the Philippines has evolved in response to global and local educational challenges and demands. By comparing the pedagogical directions of the K-12 and the MATATAG curricula, this paper provides helpful insights for educators, policymakers, and curriculum developers, contributes to the ongoing discourse on English as a subject in basic education in the Philippines and Asia, and posits plausible recommendations for further improving English language teaching and learning practices.
