CERAE The Benefits of Mother Tongue

Content

Mother tongue education refers to education that uses language that

children are most familiar with. Children are most familiar with the language they speak

at home. This language, if taught in school, makes comprehension, understanding and

learning easier. It starts from where the learners are, and from what they already know

and develop a strong foundation in their mother language before learning additional

languages. Children learn better and faster in a language they can understand

preventing delays in learning, they enjoy school more, they feel more at home, and

adopting skills required in a sector quickly and effectively. Knowing your mother tongue

well is a matter of pride. It boosts one’s confidence and creates awareness in the

individual’s mind while also helping them connect with their cultural identity in a better

manner.

Reflection

I believe the main purpose of learning to speak in mother tongue is to

develop the child’s cognitive and so also learning can be simple, easier, and effective.

Being fluent in the mother tongue, which is also known as the native language, benefits

the child in many ways. It connects him to his culture, ensures better cognitive

development, and aids in the learning of other languages.
