Teaching in The Multi Lingual Classroom

A multicultural classroom is one where students and teachers accept all races, cultures, and religions. This is shown through inclusive books, activities, and lessons. Multicultural education incorporates positive racial aspects into classrooms and acknowledges cultural diversity. A multilingual classroom has students who speak different first languages, requiring the shared use of a target language. Effective strategies for multicultural classrooms include integrating cultural practices into lessons, immersing students in other cultures, and celebrating diversity.

Multicultural and

Classrooms
What is a Multicultural Classroom?

A multicultural classroom is one in


which both the students and the teacher
are accepting of all races, cultures, and
religions. This acceptance is evidenced by
the books that are read, the activities that
are completed, and the lessons that are
taught.
What is Multicultural Education?

Multicultural education relates to education and


instruction designed for the cultures of several
different races in an educational system. This
approach to teaching and learning is based upon
consensus building, respect, and fostering
cultural pluralism within racial societies.
Multicultural education acknowledges and
incorporates positive racial idiosyncrasies into
classroom atmospheres.
A multilingual class is a class where the 
learners speak a variety of first languages. ... In 
a multilingual class there can be much more 
use of the target language, because it will be the 
only common language between the learners, 
who will use it for their normal interactions both 
in and out of class.
There are several instructional strategies that can
be utilized in addressing cultural diversity in the
classroom. The following are examples of the things
that can promote the cause of multicultural

education:
history and respect for cultural diversity can be integrated
in the various contents of the subject taught in basic
education.
2.Cultural Immersion - Students can be immersed in
different cultures. This will allow the students to observe
the life of other people and to have a first hand
experience of their culture and values.
3.Celebrating Cultural Diversity - Similar to what we do in
the UN Month Celebration, and in the Linggo ng Wika,
4. Culture Responsive Pedagogy – Teachers use
pedagogical methods, approaches, and techniques
that respect the cultural values, cultural mindset, and
cultural practices of the learners.

5. Teaching Local Culture – Teachers will introduce local


culture to the students through lectures, fora, and
symposia.

6. Using the Local Language as a medium of instruction


– Teachers need to support the implementation of the
Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-
MLE) program of the Department of Education. They
