Explore the challenges of teaching in a multicultural classroom, as students have variable characteristics that make them unique, even if they are from the same country or speak the same language. It is crucial for ELT teachers to address the singular cultural backgrounds, language proficiency levels, and biases that students bring from their personal experiences. By understanding these challenges and implementing effective strategies, teachers can create inclusive learning environments where all students feel valued and empowered. The session will talk about the importance of culturally responsive teaching, intercultural communication skills, establishing inclusive classroom norms, collaborative learning, and continuous professional development. Adapt some techniques in your daily teaching to overcome these challenges, fostering inclusive teaching practices.
