Keywords:
Mathematical vocabulary, primary education, English language, MALITLA, integrated learning, language competence, mathematical terminology, cognitive development, academic literacy.Abstract
This article explores a model for developing mathematical vocabulary in primary school students through the English language. Particular attention is given to the innovative MALITLA model (Mathematics, Assessment, Literacy, and Language), which integrates mathematics learning, language development, assessment, and academic literacy. The study examines the impact of language competence on students’ mathematical achievement and highlights effective pedagogical strategies for developing mathematical terminology. The findings indicate that integrating language and content enhances learning outcomes, supports cognitive development, and promotes active student engagement.
