Dear Sir/Madam:
We are cordially inviting you to the 2012 Training-Workshop on Bridging between
Languages in Mother Language-Based Education under the New K-12
Curriculum, to be held on May 14-26, 2012 at the St. Louis University in Baguio City.
This international course is being organized by SIL International, the 170+ Talaytayan MLE
Incorporated, and St. Louis University-Baguio. The resource speakers are Dr. Susan Malone
and Dr. Dennis Malone of SIL, DepEd officials and experienced professors from UP, SLU,
PNU and ADMU.
The event is part of a series on planning for strong and sustainable mother tongue-based
bilingual and multilingual education (MTB MLE) programs. For elementary teachers and
administrators, the goal of the course is to leave you with a firm grasp on how to
implement MTBMLE in kindergarten and in the early grades in your schools under the new
K-12 curriculum. For tertiary educators, the added objective is to help you design your
teacher training programs according to principles of first-language based instruction.
The course fee will be P7,500, inclusive of kit, materials, hand-outs, CD and daily lunch and
snacks but exclusive of accommodation. There are limited slots only.
Please refer to the attachments for workshop schedule, registration, accommodation
payment procedures and CHED endorsement. For more information, please contact Prof.
Jane K. Lartec through 09192470035 or e-mail ad enaj2911@yahoo.com or Ms. Lucy Cruz
