Teacher Education for Mother Tongue1Based Education Programs

The success of mother tongue4based multilingual education (MTB MLE) programs—indeed, of all education—depends in large part on the teachers in the classroom. Teacher education institutions in many countries, often operating in difficult circumstances, do an admirable job of training pre4service teachers to provide instruction for learners in the formal education system using the official school language. Teachers learn how to present curriculum materials in a way that allows children who understand and speak the school language to gain the prescribed standards for their grade level. The assumption in teacher education programs for schools that use only the official school language is that all students have the level of fluency they need to learn effectively in that language. However, in many multilingual contexts this assumption is not correct and children from non4dominant language communities tend to do poorly in formal education systems.bb
