Abstract:
The study focused on the challenges encountered by teachers teaching MTB-MLE in the primary level, specifically get the perception of teachers teaching in the primary level on MTB-MLE, identify the challenges encountered by teachers in teaching MTB-MLE, and propose possible solutions on the challenges met by the teachers. It employed a qualitative method of research and utilized interview as the main instrument in gathering data and information. The participants were the grades 1 to 3 teachers of Eduardo Lee Chan Memorial School, Magallanes South District Magallanes, Sorsogon. Excluded in the study were the other elementary schools in the district and in other district as well. Findings of the study have revealed that MTB-MLE is good but should be an additional subject to be taught; it should not be integrated and not a redundant subject; subject MTB-MLE must be discarded to decongest the present curriculum; teaching MTB-MLE in primary level is not necessary because the skill that needs to be developed were already included in Filipino and English; MTB should be removed as a subject but it can be use as medium of instruction. Based from the findings of the study, the most frequent response is the lack instructional or teaching materials to be used when teaching MTB-MLE. That is why it was recommended to provide enough materials and supplies for teaching MTB-MLE. From the findings of the study, it is recommended to provide appropriate instructional materials; use innovation and technology to adapt on the skills and level of learning of the pupils in the 21st century; DepEd should provide enough and complete sets of LM's/TM's; more budget for the IM's, computer, projector; provide textbooks and other supplementary materials; and supply enough books, and reading materials for the pupils.
