Abstract

Multilingual education, according to UNICEF, UNESCO, and the European Commission, may play a vital role in engaging a diverse range of learners. Multilingual classrooms are a growing phenomenon around the world as a result of the rapid increase in global mobility and migration. Within these classrooms, students may have different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, may speak one language at home and another language at school, or be learning the language of instruction as an additional language. Classrooms that promote multilingualism help create positive identities connected with their home cultures in addition to boosting academic performance. This chapter explored ramifications, challenges, and steps in implementing multilingualism practices in the multilingual classroom across the curriculum based on secondary data.
