Abstract

The implementation of the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) as a subject and as a Medium of Instruction (MOI) for Grades 1, 2 and 3 gave rise to language issues in teaching and learning. This study presents the lesson exemplars using new original Cebuano stories to facilitate the teaching of MTB-MLE subject among Grade one students. This study used the quasi-experimental research design that employed the control group and the experimental group of Grade 1 students that investigated the effects of using Cebuano stories and exercises in MTB-MLE class. A researcher-made, expert-validated pretest instrument was used to gather baseline data on participants’ performance in MTB–MLE of both groups. Results showed that there is a significant difference between students’ MTB–MLE performance and participation before and after. During their MTBMLE classes, the experimental group was more motivated to listen and learn new words through Cebuano stories told in class than simply unlocking unfamiliar words in the control group. The lesson exemplars using Cebuano stories served as an effective means of reinforcing lessons in the MTB-MLE subject. Thus, lesson exemplars were proposed to promote the teaching and learning in MTB-MLE subject, enhancing the students’ performance and participation in class.
