    The study focused on developing and evaluating an Ilocano learning app for first graders, integrating technology with early childhood education. It aimed to explore the potential of adaptive learning systems for personalized user experiences. The primary objective was to create an Ilocano Learning Mobile app for first-grade students at DMMMSU ELS and AECES, utilizing Java, XML, Kotlin, and SQLite to provide access to grade-specific lessons, activities, and quizzes, with performance evaluated via a 5-point Likert scale. Findings indicated that the Mobile Application Development Life Cycle (MADLC) was the most effective framework for developing mobile apps like the Ilocano learning app, ensuring a systematic and efficient process. Kotlin and Java were used for complex logic and scalability, XML for user-friendly interactivity, and SQLite for efficient data storage and retrieval. A mother-tongue teacher curated the app's dataset, ensuring content relevance and accuracy. The app's acceptability was evaluated using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), with a diverse panel of seven mother-language instructors and five IT experts. The evaluation resulted in a unanimous "Very High Acceptability" rating, confirming that the app effectively met user needs and expectations.
