Abstract:
This study aims to explore the prominent behaviors of millennial students and their implications on the teaching of Filipino. The participants are the students, teachers, and parents selected using Purposive Criterion Sampling. Data were collected through interviews and Focused Group Discussion (FGD). Data saturation was used as the basis for stopping the collection of qualitative data. Using Colaizzi's Phenomenological Descriptive Method, significant statements were extracted and themes were identified. The findings revealed that millennials are modern, innovative, creative, and gadget-oriented. It was also discovered that millennials have weaknesses in the Filipino subject, particularly in vocabulary, study habits, lack of self-confidence, and focus on learning due to technology and various social media platforms. The behaviors discovered require additional support from the education sector and their parents. It is recommended that teachers improve their teaching methods to enhance the interest and abilities of millennial students in academic performance, particularly in hyflex (hybrid and flexible) face-to-face and online learning.
