EMBRACING MULTILINGUALISM IN IRANIAN CLASSROOMS: WHICH STRATEGIES FOR INCLUSION
Abstract
In globalized world, multilingualism has garnered priority as it fosters effective intercultural exchange (Moshtari et al., 2023., & Kathleen, 2016). Educational institutions must actively embrace multilingualism to fulfil their role in promoting an inclusive society from a young age (King, 2018). Celebrating diversity and cultivating multilingual classrooms are key to creating environments that embrace cultural differences (Krajewski, 2011). This study examines the contributions of Iranian teachers to multilingual education and inclusion. As part of a doctoral dissertation on teacher competencies in multicultural classrooms, this literature review explores the strategies employed by Iranian teachers to support inclusive learning in multilingual settings. The sources include Google Scholar, Web of Science, ERIC, and Scopus. The findings underscore the importance of cultural diversity and emphasize the need for enhancing teachers' abilities to navigate linguistic and cultural differences.
