Rationale The Lubuagan MLE programme teaches the Filipino and English
languages through the mother tongue rather than through immersion
in these two languages. Using the learners’ first language to teach
them Filipino and English provides the comprehensible input
necessary for learning second languages (Krashen 1991, 2000). After
oral proficiency is developed in Filipino and English, literacy in these
second languages is introduced, bridging from literacy in the first
language.
