INCLUSIVE EDUCATION PRACTICES AND THEIR IMPACT ON LINGUISTICALLY DIVERSE LEARNERS IN MULTICULTURAL CLASSROOMS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article examines the importance of inclusive education practices for linguistically diverse learners within multicultural classrooms. It also explores the implications of these practices on students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds and discusses some of the challenges educators might face when implementing them in their classes. By analyzing both effective practices and existing challenges, the study highlights the importance of creating equitable learning environments where all students feel valued, respected, and provided with equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of their linguistic or cultural background.
