923-February 7, 2012
(Enclosure to DepEd Order No. 16, s. 2012)
GUIDELINES ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MOTHER TONGUE-BASED
MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION (MTB-MLE)

A. Objectives
The Mother Tongue-Based-Mu1ti1ingua1 Education (MTB-MLE) aims to develop the following areas:

1. language development which establishes a strong education for success in school and for lifelong learning;

2. cognitive development which focuses on Higher Order Thinking Skills


(HOTS);
3. academic development which prepares the learner to acquire mastery of competencies in each
of the learning areas; and
4. socio-cultural awareness which enhances the pride of the learner's heritage, language and
culture.

B. Areas of Focus

The MTB-MLE shall be implemented in two (2) modes: as a learning/ subject area and as a
medium of instruction. The Mother Tongue (MT) as a subject will focus on the development of
beginning reading and fluency from Grades 1 to 3. The learners' Mother Tongue (Ll) shall be used
as the medium of instruction (MOI) in all domains/ learning areas from Kindergarten through
Grade 3 except Filipino (L2) and English (L3). The Ll will continuously be used as MOI in a
transition or bridging process (Ll-L2-L1 or L2-L1-L2) through Grade 3.

The L2 will be introduced in the first semester of Grade 1 for oral fluency and reading and writing
will be introduced in the 2 nd semester of Grade 1. The four (4) macro skills, namely: listening,
speaking, reading, and writing will continuously be developed from Grades 2-6.

Oral fluency in L3 will be introduced in the 2 nd semester of Grade 1, while reading and writing in
L3 will start in the 1 st semester of Grade 2. The four (4) macro-skills will be developed starting 2 nd
semester of Grade 2 until Grade 6.

C. Teaching and Learning Process


The MT shall be used as MOI in any of the following models:
Model 1: Ideally, the Kindergarten or Grade 1 class shall be taught in the children's MT which has
been modeled in public schools. The MTS include the eight (8) major languages (LF) and four (4)
others namely: Tausug, Maguindanaoan, Maranao, and Chabacano.

Model 2: In schools where there are three (3) or more MTS or variations of the LF without an
approved orthography spoken by the pupils, the Lingua Franca in that area shall be used as the
MOI. Special classes offering the children's MT may be held twice a week if a teacher is available
for the development of oral fluency. The oral fluency skills shall be bridged to any of the LF
languages and the four (4) other languages cited above in the development of reading and writing.
When an approved orthography of the MT is available and learning resources have been
developed with trained teachers, the schools are encouraged to use the desired MT. In such
situation, the school head (SH) shall inform the Division Office (DO) so that technical assistance
could be provided and learning resources could be evaluated to meet the national standards for
learning resources.
D. Teachers' Training and Development
The existing MTB-MLE regional training team organized for the model schools shall be the same
team that will be responsible for the division and school-based training of teachers on the MTB-
MLE for the K to 12 Basic Education Program (BEP). The members shall be expanded to include
trainers in the Kindergarten. All of these teachers shall have undergone not only the Training of
Trainers (TOT) for MLE but also the K to 12 BEP.

E. Preparation of Learning Resources


The Regions, divisions and schools MTB-MLE trained writers shall continuously update their
knowledge and skills in the development of indigenized materials thus, providing the students
with variety of learning resources. These learning resources shall be submitted to:
