Mother Tongue Curriculum Guide
Activity 1
Form a group with four members. Your task this time is to
understand the Department of Education's Curriculum
Framework for Mother Tongue as a learning area. Before your
task, it is crucial that you have a common knowledge of
frameworks, specifically what a curriculum framework is.

A framework, when used in any context, implies a means of

organizing and managing content in systematic ways. With this,
we can define a curriculum framework as the one responsible
in regulating the content of the curriculum; it sets the
parameters, directions, and standards for curriculum policy and
practice.

With your group mates, try to make sense of the MTB-MLE

Curriculum Framework shown in the next slide. Discuss the
qustions that follow afterwards. Refer to the Curriculum Guide.
Write your answers in a PDF file.
What are the current and relevant issues in relation
1 to our Phillippine curriculum?

With the curriculum framework shown above, do you

2 think these issues will be addressed?

What are the teaching and learning priorities of the

3 framework that set the foundation of the framework?

How is content organized in the curriculum

4 framework?
Activity 2
With the same group member, your last task for this lesson is to prepare a two-page
position paper that will discuss the following:

01 What needs to be
improved (if any)?
02 How does the MTB-MLE curriculum
support/complement (or contradict)
first and second language acquisition
theories?

03 if you will be given the chance to improve the

framework, what cahnges will you incorporate?
Try to recreate the MTB-MLR framework based
on your suggestions.
