Language Barrier and Mother Tongue Instruction:

Many Igorot communities have their own distinct languages and dialects. The use of mother tongue as
the medium of instruction in the early years of education is crucial. If initial education is not in their
mother tongue, it may create a language barrier, affecting their overall language development, including
English proficiency.

Limited Exposure to English Outside School:

Limited exposure to English in daily life, especially in remote or rural areas, can hinder language
acquisition. Lack of English-speaking environments outside of the classroom can impede the
development of practical language skills.

Socio-economic Factors:

Socio-economic factors, such as poverty and limited access to quality education, can impact English
language attainment. Families facing economic challenges may prioritize basic needs over investing in
additional language education resources.
