ABSTRACT This article examines the use of mother tongue-based teaching methodology to enhance English listening skills in line with National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023. The approach is meant to help overcome the challenges and issues of this approach, like student resistance, a lack of resources and curriculum constraints, and offers suggestive measures toward an improved implementation. The study explores theoretical bases of language acquisition and benefits connected to the incorporation of mother tongue for the enhancement of English listening comprehension through bilingual strategies. Practical teaching methods as practiced in the article include bilingual teaching, code-switching and contextualization, among others, the article is also looking at how these can be improved in terms of teacher training, resource development, and curriculum reforms. Ultimately, it contends that the idea of combining mother tongue in ELI (i.e. English listening instruction) can offer more inclusive, more useful, more accessible learning experiences for kids, especially in multilingual places like India, and thereby helping achieve the broader concerns of NEP 2020 and NCF 2023.
