Question 1 What is it?
1. Multi-Lingual Education is a curriculum and teaching
methodology that:
a. Begins with mother tongue (L1, home language) as a medium of
instruction and builds good bridges to other languages, while
maintaining the use of L1 for as long as possible.
b. Builds on what we know about how children learn best. (Begins
with the known and moves to the unknown by building on the
child’s prior knowledge, using his/her world or real knowledge
and moving to new knowledge.)
c. Allows the child to construct knowledge rather than the teacher
being the only way to knowledge and rather than the teacher
designing only one learning experience.
d. Uses the language the child knows best to teach reading and
writing skills.
e. Allows the child to learn academic concepts in mother tongue
