Abstract: A study examining the experiences of twelve Filipino language teachers in Saudi Arabia found that English dominance in media, education, and social environments negatively impacted students’ language skills. The study suggested that Filipino language learning should begin at home, with parents introducing simple vocabulary to their children from an early age. To support bilingual development, schools should enhance digital infrastructure, align teaching tools with students’ needs, and develop updated curriculum plans. Instilling a love for the Filipino language and identity is essential for improving language proficiency among students living abroad.
