Mother Tongue Language Resources

Our Mother Tongue Languages, heritage, and culture form an integral part of Singapore’s identity and asset. In Singapore’s diverse and multi-cultural context, the study of the 3 official Mother Tongue Languages (MTLs) namely Chinese, Malay and Tamil Language is vital for nurturing a sense of cultural identity among Singaporeans and fostering intergenerational continuity of cultural heritage and values. The development of language and literacy skills and their cultural identity supports children in connecting with and learning more about the world and people around them.
Big books and story cards in all 3 MTLs, based on Singapore’s context and cultural heritage have been distributed to preschools in 2021 and 2023 as part of the efforts to support educators in providing meaningful MTL learning experiences for children.
