Teaching strategies in mother-based multi-lingual education context: Inputs to the development of contextualized model

Since the implementation of Mother Tongue Based-Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE), the interests of researchers and scholars have been evident as supported by the numerous studies about it.This depicts the rich research areas that need exploration or investigation.In such context, this study was conducted to bridge the research gaps by focusing on the experiences of teachers in MTB-MLE.Thematic analysis of the interview transcripts revealed the teaching strategies of teachers which are tagged as TRIP, an acronym for Translating, Remediating Instruction, Indigenizing Instructional Materials, and Peer Learning.These identified strategies surfaced from the rich sharing of the participants as they experience MTB-MLE.In the light of these findings, MTB-MLE remains an important factor in the success of the teaching and learning process; teachers remain adaptive amidst educational reforms and trends.
