2. Explain the important insights and reasons of multilingual


education in making education more responsive to cultural

MOTHER TONGUE BASED


MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION
Why

• Monje, Orbeta, Francisco-Abrigo, and Capones (2019)


reports that, “the BEP or the use of both Filipino and English
as MOI has been considered a failure due to relatively weak
performance of Filipino students in Math and Science, which
led DepEd to believe that Filipinos are not learning what they
should be learning in school. In fact, data shows that Filipino
learners are not mastering even 60% of academic content
with the current BEP (DepEd Fact Sheet 2008).

MOTHER TONGUE BASED MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION


WHAT’S STATED ON THE MTB-MLE
POLICY

‘’The use of the learner’s First Language (L1) as the primary


medium of instruction (MOI) from pre-school until, at least,
grade 3.

During such period, L1 shall be the main vehicle to teach


understanding and mastery of all subjects [sic] areas like Math,
Science, Makabayan, and language subjects like Filipino and
English’’
IMPLEMENTATION

STRENGT WEAKNESSE FEEDBAC


H S K
Walter and Dekker’s (2011) study on
“Mother tongue instruction in Lubuagan: A case study from the Philippines

Lubuagan, a municipality in Kalinga, Philippines, has


successfully implemented Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education (MTB-MLE).

The Department of Education (DepEd) has replicated


Lubuagan's model in other Philippine regions.
.
1.Transfer of Skills: Learners often draw upon the linguistic
structures and vocabulary of their L1 when learning an L2.
This transfer can be beneficial when similarities exist, such as
cognates or shared grammar rules. However, it can also lead
to interference, especially if the languages differ significantly.

2. Cummin’s Interdependence Hypothesis:
This hypothesis, represented as a "dual-iceberg,"
posits that every language contains surface
features; however, underlying those surface
manifestations of language are proficiencies that
are common across languages.
