    MOTHER TOUNGE

    AND LANGUAGE
    TEACHERS
    • Mother Tongue is typically the first language of the child and the language
    of the home. It can also be construed as the language of primary
    socialization, the language developed by a child from an early childhood.
    • Mother Tongue education implies a linguistically homogeneous community,
    a teacher who speaks the language, and the curriculum materials in the
    mother tongue.
    • Mother Tongue-Based instruction provides an opportunity for children to
    exercise their right to learn in their first language.
    DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

    • The child's language will serve as the


    fundamental language for literacy and
    learning.
    The mother tongue:

    -As a subject focuses on the development of reading and


    speaking from Grades 1 to 3.
    -As a medium of instruction the mother tongue is used in
    all learning areas from Kinder to Grade 3 except in the
    teaching of Filipino and English subjects.
    Teaching in mother tongues
    • In her 2016 paper, “A Multilingual, Multicultural and
    Multidisciplinary Approach to MTBMLE: A Model for
    Philippines”, Dr. Elizabeth Calinawagan, a professor of
    Filipino and Dean of the College of Arts and
    Communication, UP Baguio, gives three possible
    classroom scenarios a teacher may face.
    • In the first scenario, a school may have a strong
    community language as its mother tongue and the
    majority of its students communicating in this language.
    According to Calinawagan, this scenario is more common
    in rural areas. In her paper, she recommends that the
    teacher use a monolingual teaching-learning process,
    “Basic education [here] should be in the mother tongue.
    Then you’ll just be transferring knowledge through a
    lingua franca, and then English.”
    •In the second scenario, there are more students whose mother tongue is
    the regional lingua franca—for instance, Ilokano in northern Luzon—and
    the other students use their own community/indigenous languages as their
    mother tongue. This scenario is more common in densely populated cities
    such as Baguio City.
    “In one classroom in a public elementary school, the students could have
    different mother tongues—Maranao, Kankanay, Pangasinan, Ilokano. This
    could be problematic. The DepEd chose Iloko [as the language of
    instruction], but teachers encounter difficulties because not all the students
    speak Iloko. Some are more fluent in Filipino, especially in urban centers.”
    • In the third scenario, there could be a strong regional lingua
    franca, but the students’ linguistic profiles show that they are
    more competent in languages of wider communication such as
    English and Filipino. This is more common in private schools,
    where students are sometimes pressured by the school
    administration, teachers, and parents to use these languages.
    LANGUAGE TEACHERS

    • A language teacher teaches foreign languages to native speakers.


    • Language teachers teach students to speak,comprehend and write in a
    foreign language.
    • Language teachers are usually expected to be either native speakers of the
    language they are teaching or hold a university degree in it.
    What Does a Language Teacher Do?

    • In general, all foreign language teachers train


    students in the vocabulary, grammar,
    pronunciation, reading and writing of a foreign
    language. Like other teachers, they are also
    responsible for lesson planning, recordkeeping
    and student assessment.
