Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education

 

Starting Where the Children Are is a collection of essays on Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTBMLE) on these general topics - MTBMLE: What It Is and What It Is Not; Language in Education: Reform and Reality; The International Experience in Language Use in Education; Pinoy English; Language Endagerment and Preservation; Languages and Identities; and Writing in the Mother Tongue. Edited by Ricardo Ma. Duran Nolasco, Francisco Andes Datar, and Arnold Molina Azurin, the essays are written by educators, media personalities, linguists, and culture advocates. The book argues for the need to shift from our present bilingual policy to mother-tongue based instruction.
