7. While our knowledge on Gen Z is still on progress,
through the lens of education, we can safely say
that the world you are growing up in is more
comprehensible. It is the day and age when the
challenge of education is to prepare the
forthcoming generation of learners to brave
constant change and challenges of the world.

8. Education is not just simply a transfer of concepts
and rote memorization, yet it is the readiness and
capability to operate, compete and survive. More
so, education is all about learners, who think
outside the box, employ higher order thinking
skills, analyze, troubleshoot, make decisions,
and solve problems.

What are the most common languages spoken/used by your
classmates? Where do you think did they learn the languages?

10. • We thrive in a bilingual, or even in a multilingual, world.
This is the rationale why Mother Tongue, Filipino, and
English follow a unified frame-work which allows easy
transition from acquiring and learning one language to
another.
• Republic Act 10533 “Enhanced Basic Education Act of
2013” has highlighted the reality and relevance of
Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-
MLE)

11. • The implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education
Program puts high premium on the learner’s mother
tongue and other languages used in the classroom.
The DepEd refers to Mother Tongue-Based Instruction
through DO #74 s. 2009.
• The curriculum shall adhere to the principles and
framework of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education which starts from where the learners are at
and from what they already know, proceeding from the
known to the unknown.

12. In support of MTB-MLE, in 2013, DepEd
issued DO #28 s. 2013 – Additional
Guidelines to DepEd Order # 16, 2012
(Guidelines on the Implementation of the
Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual
Education)

13. Reality dictates that:
- Learners learn best when
they are able to understand
and expresses in the
language they grew up
speaking from childhood .
- Learners are able to build a
strong scaffold in terms of
comprehension,
construction and
communication.
- Research stresses that children with a solid foundation in the
language they grow up speaking or their mother tongue develop
stronger literacy abilities in the school language.

Is language acquisition true for all children?

15. • Language is the basis of all communications and the
primary instrument of thought.
• Thinking, learning, and language are interrelated.
• Language is governed by rules and systems (language
conventions) which are used to explore and communicate
meaning
• It defines culture which is essential in understanding
oneself (personal identity) forming interpersonal
relationships (socialization) extending experiences,
reflecting on thought and action, contributing to a better
society.

16. • Language, therefore, is central to the people’s intellectual,
social, and emotional development and has an essential
role in all key learning areas.
• Language is the foundation of all human relationships. All
human relationships are established on the ability of
people to communicate effectively with each other.
• Thoughts, values and understanding are developed and
expressed through language. This process allows
students to understand better the world in which they live
and contribute to the development of their personal
perspectives of the global community.

17. • Proficiency in the language enables people to access,
process, and assess information, to engage with the wider
and more diverse communities, and to learn about the
role of language in their own lives, and in their own and
other cultures.

18. Language acquisition is a natural
process and involves “picking up”
language in a nonconscious way
through exposure to language, not by
studying it
Language learning is conscious
intentional, involves study and pays
attention to grammar rules.

19. ● Students enhance their language abilities by
using what they know in new and more complex
contexts and with increasing sophistication
(spiral progression).
● By learning and incorporating new language
structures into their repertoire and using them in
a variety of contexts, students develop language
fluency and proficiency.
● Positive learning experiences in language-rich
environments enable students to leave school
with a desire to continue to extend their
knowledge, skills and interests.

20. Armed with the capability to read
in their mother tongue, learners are
able to cross over and read in
other languages. Their knowledge
and skills transfer across
languages. This bridge then
enables the learners to use both or
all their languages for success in
academic and most of all for
lifelong learning.
