Erlinda K. Alburo
Title: REVISITING CHILDREN’S STORIES FOR LEARNING CEBUANO
Abstract:
In reviewing children’s stories that might be used for the learning of Cebuano within the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education Program of DepEd, this paper suggests the writing of original stories as well as the rewriting of local lore to fit the levels of learning of the children. Because the stories are multitasked not only to teach Cebuano but also values, both original and revised works must consider the linguistic peculiarities in phonetics, orthography, syntax and vocabulary of Cebuano; at the same time, the stories must teach values in an engaging style. Other considerations include sensitivity to class, gender and disability.

Title:Ang Binisayang Sinugboanon ug Ang mga Hagit sa Paggamit Niini Isip MI Sa Atong Mga Tulunghaan
Abstract:
Ginaingon nga ang pinulongan mao ang dugo sa kalag sa kultura. Niini, dayag na lang nga ang pinulongan importante kaayo isip behikulo sa pagkat-on sa kabataan. Ang pagkat-on magsugod diha sa pagbukas sa atong mga bentana aron pag-aninaw sa palibot ug dayon mosunod na ang pagpanglantaw sa unahan.Apan sa reyalidad sa atong katilingban, sukwahi ang nahitabo. Wala gamita ang atong lumad nga pinulongan isip MI sa atong mga eskuylahan. Ug tungod niini, may dakong gap nga mitungha. Mitubo sa iyang kinaugalingong paglambo ang pinulongan agad sa matag komunidad diin siya naglungtad. Mitubo og iyaha, nagpatuyang pagpananga—nga miresulta sa panag-iyahay nga halos di na gani magkasabtanay. Miresulta ni sa gitawag nakog “dili tupong natong panabot” isip mga Bisaya. Ug ning maong kamatuoran, asa nato ipasukad ang paggamit sa atong pinulongan aron mahimo kining epektibong behikulo sa edukasyon sa kabataan?Busa, tumong ning maong papel ang pag-utingkay, ug paghulagway unsa kining “dili tupong natong panabot” sa pamasin nga malikayan nato kining maong dakong hagit ug sa ingon hapsay nang maimplementar ang MTB-MLE pinasikad sa tinuod nga konteksto ug sensibilidad natong mga Bisaya.
