Toolkit Planning for Language Use in Education Global 08 2015

Language goals. 
Using L1/familiar languages for early and continued literacy instruction 
accelerates the effective acquisition of L2 or Lx in later grades; see Brown (2011, 
Uganda); Goldenberg (2008, US); Mullis, Martin, Foy, and Drucker (2012, various); 
World Bank (2005, Mali); and Walter and Benson (2012, various). With good instruction, 
most children can achieve proficient speaking and writing language competency in L1 or 
a closely related language, and a working knowledge of L2 by the end of primary school 
(Language Policy Unit, n.d.; Little et al., 2011).

Equity goals.
Providing education in a familiar language facilitates access for all. 
Experiencing success in the early grades is particularly important for the persistence of 
children coming from language minorities and non-literate environments (Alidou, 
Batiana, Damiba, Pare, & Kinda, 2008; Ball, 2011). Using L1 as the LOI has narrowed 
the achievement gap between boys and girls in some African countries (Benson, 2005; 
Hovens, 2002; Ouane & Glanz, 2010). 

National unity goals. 
An implicit or explicit goal of providing educational instruction in 
an L2/Lx is building national identity, unity, and social harmony. As noted in 
Section 1 
and in 
Annex A,
L1-based instruction supports such important goals by giving 
all
children an opportunity to learn, to become productive members of society, and to 
contribute to the development of strong institutions (Alesina, Devleeschauwer, Easterly, 
Kurlat, & Wacziarg, 2003; Easterly, 2001).

Cost-effectiveness goals.
Studies have found that instruction in languages children 
understand can be more cost-effective than providing education in an unfamiliar or 
foreign language (Vawda & Patrinos, 1999, Guatemala; World Bank, 2005, Mali). 
According to one estimate, a 4- to 5-percent increase in a country’s education budget 
would cover immediate costs of introducing L1 as LOI, with costs decreasing costs in the 
mid- to long-term (Heugh, 2011b, multiple countries). Initial start-up costs can be 
recovered in terms of per-pupil expenditures due to higher retention and learning 
outcomes when pupils learn and stay in school, with a breakeven point after about two 
years (Patrinos & Velez, 2009).
Questions to explore how a country’s education goals vis-à-vis planning for language use in 
education are listed in
