Course Description The processes of globalization are highly complex and influence the multi-layered
structures of societies: economic, socio-cultural, political, linguistic and education
aspects among others. A remarkable increase in global migration flows, especially over
the last decade, required from the host countries to pay particular attention to the
provision of equal education opportunities. The course Introduction to Multilingual and
Multicultural Learning makes an attempt to provide answers to these and other related
questions with reference to the latest research and discussion of different case studies.
Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students are expected to:
A. critically evaluate various teaching practices in multilingual and multicultural
settings;
B. obtain valuable insights to better understand the learning needs of students in a
multilingual/multicultural classroom; and
C. apply the knowledge you will have gained in this course, in
multilingual/multicultural classrooms.
