highlighted the reality and relevance of
Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education (MTB-MLE).

In-class Activity
Education Program puts a high premium
on the learner’s mother tongue and other
languages used in the classroom. the
Department of Education refers to

In-class Activity to the
principles and framework of Mother
Tongue-Based Multilingual Education
(MTB-MLE) which starts from where the
learners are at and from what they
already know, proceeding from the
known to the unknown. Instructional
materials and capable teachers to

they are able to understand and express
themselves in the language they grew up
speaking from childhood. Thus, they are able

communication. Moreover, research stresses

language they grew up speaking or their
mother tongue develop stronger literacy
abilities in the school language.

• Having the endGet Involved
in mind of instilling lifelong
learning over and above academic excellence
in Filipino learners, language learning in the
mother tongue (L1), in Filipino (L2-the
national language), in English (L3-the
global language), and the possibility of a
foreign language (L4), equips the learners
to be more than prepared to develop the
competencies in the different learning areas
they will hurdle.
Group Activity:
Panel Discussion

• Form a group of five and


discuss the following.
Guide Questions:
• Who is learning another language at the
moment?
• Who has tried to study another language
out of a passion of curiosity, or out of
obligation to fulfill a duty?
• If a second language has been learned,
how was the experience?
• Do you agree that teaching MTB is highly
recommended in elementary? Why/why
not?
