The guiding principles for teaching and learning mtb mle
The document outlines 8 guiding principles for teaching and learning in a multilingual environment: 1) Learning builds on existing knowledge in the first language. 2) Strong development of the first language facilitates learning additional languages and academic achievement. 3) Using multiple languages enhances cognitive flexibility and higher-order thinking. 4) Discovery learning occurs through guided practice and application of new concepts. 5) Active learning through peer interaction, hands-on activities, and discussion helps build confidence. 6) Language learning requires a focus on both meaning and accuracy. 7) Transferring knowledge between languages is normal but may take two years for basic communication skills. 8) Students thrive in welcoming environments that value their home languages
The guiding principles for teaching and learning mtb mle
- 1. THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR TEACHING AND LEARNING MTB-MLE
- 2. Principle 1: KNOWN TO THE UNKNOWN Learning requires meaning. We learn when we use what we already know to help us understand what is new. Second language learners use what they know in their own language (significant in reading).
- 3. Principle 2: LANGUAGE AND ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT Well- developed L1 Easy and full acquisition of L2, L3, etc. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMEN
- 4. Principle 3: COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT Students who use their multilingual skills have been shown to develop both the cognitive flexibility and divergent thinking Usage of High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
- 5. Principle 4: DISCOVERY LEARNING We learn when someone who already understands the new idea or task helps us to “discover” the new idea and then use it meaningfully.
- 6. Principle 5: ACTIVE LEARNING Peer interaction – peers and teacher Second language active learning – learners gain confidence during in the “hear-see-do” activity. Purposeful talk – talking make us sense of new ideas and information
- 7. Principle 6: MEANING AND ACCURACY Successful language learning involves hearing, speaking, reading and writing activities that focus on both MEANING and ACCURACY
- 8. Principle 7: LANGUAGE LEARNING/ LANGUAGE TRANSFER Language Transfer - refers to speakers or writers (learners) applying knowledge from one language to another language. It takes a minimum of 2 years to learn basic communicative skills in a second language when society supports that learning. Errors are normal part of L2 learning.
- 10. Principle 8: AFFECTIVE COMPONENT Valuing the home language/ culture. Valuing students with talents in their home language more powerfully enables learning than just valuing learners of English whose home language is irrelevant to academic success. Learners from ethno-linguistic groups thrive in a welcoming learning environment.
- 11. APPLICATION Each group will present a 3-minute role play (including brief explanation afterward) of a visible scenario in the application of the assigned Guiding Principles. There will be an 8 minute allotted time for the preparation and practice. Principle 1. Known to the Unknown (GROUP 1) Principle 2. Language and Academic Development (GROUP 1) Principle 3. Cognitive Development (GROUP 2) Principle 4. Discovery Learning (GROUP 2) Principle 5. Active Learning (GROUP 3) Principle 6. Meaning and Accuracy (GROUP 3) Principle 7. Language Learning/Language Transfer (GROUP 4) Principle 8. Affective Component (GROUP 4)
- 12. EVALUATION Instruction: Given with 5-8 minutes, each learner will make a creative output (illustrated symbol, slogan, comics, poster, poem, etc.) in a long bond paper about the importance of MTB-MLE to the Filipino learners. The output should be explained at the back of the paper in at least 2-5 sentences only. CRITERIA POINTS SCORE Content 10 Creativity 3 Cleanliness 2 TOTAL 15
