    REFLECTION 1

    TASK:

    Based on The Linguistic of Babies by Patricia Kuhl, what will be the


    effects of this to the implications, status, future direction of Mother
    Tongue-Based Multilingual Education in the Philippines as a subject and
    as a Medium of Instruction for Kindergarten Education?

    Reflective Writing
    As the adage goes, "if you are going to teach or train up a learner or a young

    child in the way you want him to be, and even if he will become older and older, he will

    never forget those teachings," but the question is, Is the saying always true in all

    aspects?

                According to what I've just learned from Patricia Kuhl's link titled "The Linguistic

    Genius of Babies," she has just discussed and shared those astounding findings and

    ideas about the way these babies learn a single language over another language,

    where she has stated and mentioned about the moment when they are listening to the

    people around them, including the idea of "taking statistics" about the sounds they need

    to know and learn. This is quite amazing, isn't it? And in the documentary, there were

    Clever lab tests, including brain scans, that demonstrated how a six-month-old newborn

    would utilize complex reasoning to comprehend their surroundings. How unbelievable,

    yet realistic. Now, the question is, what will be the implications, status, and future

    direction of MT Based Multilingual Education in the country as a subject and medium of

    teaching, particularly in Kindergarten Education? As a teacher of these students, the

    consequences would be critical for me. This is due to the fact that the way we teach

    languages in the Philippines will have to adapt to some changes and advances. Since
    we just heard from the movie that these newborns may begin to distinguish their

    languages on their first birthdays, as Kuhl indicated, the fact that he or she is not yet

    enrolled in a formal school. Probably, I would also advise that instructors in the

    Philippines should attend such webinars and training to obtain more and extensive

    insights into this subject in order to become more skilled in teaching language

    acquisition and its concepts. This is to ensure that young learners are not left behind or

    mislead by outdated teaching methods; there are already established methods that will

    help them acquire the language in the best possible way. Furthermore, this is to avoid

    language misunderstanding and ambiguity, especially because they are in their

    formative stages. Furthermore, by training ourselves, we can create a better curriculum

    in this area, and as teachers, we can point students in the right way for studying the

    mother tongue up to the second and L3.          

    In a nutshell, understanding more about children's behavior and development will

    allow us to become more adaptable and reliable language teachers.
