Abstract:

Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) includes using mother tongue from pre-school to grade three. With this mother tongue, primer is embedded in teaching reading and writing. This study evaluates the challenges encountered of teachers in the utilization of Kalanguya primer in teaching reading and writing in grade 1. This study used quantitative research approach. Checklists and unstructured interviews were used as instruments to come up with data. Also, consolidated Classroom Observation Tool (COT) were averaged based on the chosen component of the COT. Data were analyzed using a Likert Scale and adjectival descriptive. The findings revealed that learners are having difficulty in learning due variations of Kalanguya language. It was found out that some terminologies in the Kalanguya primer are not applicable to all Kalanguya schools. These are needed to be contextualized and translated according to the terminologies used in the community they belong. It was also noted that learners are having difficulty in blending sounds using the Kalanguya primer.
