Community has a pool of language mentors Training opportunities available Supportive teachers & principals in some schools Availability of documented indigenous literature
as sources for localization Community members as resource persons on
Indigenous Knowledge, Systems, and Practices (IKSP)
Increasing support of government agencies & other NGOs
17
Indifference of some parents towards MT teaching Fast turnover of community teachers (language
mentors) ▪ Lack of confidence ▪ Indifference of some DepED teachers to support MTB-MLE ▪ Family concerns
Lack of learning materials on MTB-MLE Difficulty of gathering immediate feedbacks/ reports
due to distance of communities
18
Participating in the consultation meetings
Linking with government
agencies / Meeting DepED recognition requirements
Providing information for the
learning materials /Indigenizing existing curriculum
Acting as language mentors to
the non-fluent teacher
19
Designating
community teacher Acting as resource
persons in the classroom
Participating in
capability / confidence building activities
20
Counter parting for community library buildup
Gathering data as para researchers
Sharing folk stories as references to generate learning materials
21
One big encouragement for the IPs to participate in the MTB-MLE initiative is to tap them as contributors to curriculum development, Language Materials Production (LMP), language mentoring, and other community endeavors. Their latent wisdom coupled by their wealth of natural resources is just waiting to be mined.
22
A comprehensive capacity building program on MTB-MLE involving both IP adults & children geared towards a systematic recording and eventual inclusion of their IKSP in the teaching-learning process should be instituted by all concerned.
Likewise, a massive cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity, and cultural competence trainings be conducted for all stakeholders to forward MTB-MLE with IPs.
