NARRATIVE ACCOMPLISHMENT REPORT IN MOTHER TONGUE BASED

MULTILINGUAL EDUCATION
(MTB-MLE) IMPLEMENTATION
SY 2017-2018

I. INTRODUCTION

The implementation of Mother Tongue Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE),

as a part of the introduction of the K to 12 curriculum specifically in Kindergarten, Grades
1, 2 and 3, represents a significant innovation in schooling in the Philippines.
The program is toward the goal of “Every Child-A-Reader and A-Writer”. MTB-MLE
refers to “first-language-first” education that is, schooling which begins in the mother
tongue and transitions to additional languages particularly Filipino and English. It is meant
to address the high functional illiteracy of Filipinos where language plays a significant
factor. Since the child’s own language enables her/ him to express him/herself easily, then,
there is no fear of making mistakes. It encourages active participation by children in the
learning process because they understand what is being discussed and what is being asked
of them. They can immediately use their mother tongue to construct and explain their
world, articulate their thoughts and add new concepts to what they already know. The
potential reward of mother tongue instruction is the achievement of higher outcomes by
children because they are learning in a language that is familiar to them. The consolidation
of the children’s mother tongue provides a foundation for the development of literacy skills
and the learning of the additional languages of Filipino and English.

II. IMPLEMENTATION / ACTIVITIES/ACCOMPLISHMENTS:

On its 6th year of MTB MLE implementation PNCS has a total of ____ enrolment
from Grade s1-3 with 12 teacher implementers.

Highlights of accomplishments include:

 Prepared Action plan

 Prepared learning materials needed for daily lessons.

 Conducted a week-long celebration during the literacy week for MTB-MLE

Day 1 – Pupils Project display/Book Reading
Day 2 – Project PAIR (GPTA. Parents, HRPTA)
Day 3 – Project STAR (SPG, Boy/Girl Scout)
Day 4 – Project DEAR (teacher Adviser)

 Prepared Consolidated and submitted reports

 Attended meeting whenever the District Coordinator called for a meeting regarding
the progress of the MTB-MLE area.
 Along with the implementation of the program, In-service teacher training were
also given. It is tied predominantly to various models and practices for on-going
professional development of teachers. Instead of being driven by an integrated
curriculum, professional development focuses more narrowly on supporting the
continuing growth in teachers’ particular knowledge, skills, and dispositions. As the field
of MTB-MLE changes, for example, by advancement in instructional practices, lesson
planning, classroom assessment, and so on, teachers need to be updated. The trainings
attended by the teachers enhanced/strengthened their teaching strategies were:
