Select your answer for: What language did Ibn-e-Khaldun stress should be utilized for primary instruction________________________?
Show answer

Answer: C. Mother tongue

Explanation

Ibn-e-Khaldun consistently stressed that young children should be taught in their native mother tongue. He explained that learning complex subjects in a foreign language creates cognitive barriers. Instruction in the native language ensures children grasp foundational concepts smoothly. Ibn-e-Khaldun observed educational practices across various linguistic regions in North Africa. He understood the psychological importance of clear communication in early childhood learning. His pedagogical advice predated modern bilingual education theories by several centuries.

Modern educational research strongly supports initial literacy instruction in the mother tongue. Schools with multilingual student populations implement native language support programs. Curriculum planners prioritize accessible language to reduce student frustration in classrooms. Foreign languages were introduced later as advanced subjects after mastering the mother tongue. National language may differ from the local regional mother tongue spoken at home. Second language acquisition is more effective after foundational concepts are established.
