This week we were asked a series of questions based on how we can get children who are multilingual be more engaging in the classroom, the two questions we were asked:

-How can teachers maximize engagement among multilingual students?

-What are some effective ways to integrate multilingual instructional strategies into classrooms?

When thinking about being a future educator, you eventually come to the realization that you will teach children from all over the world. Even students that English and French are not their first or even second language. It is important to be understanding and help guide them to understand that it is okay to have a different language as long as we have some form of understanding.

Being able to incorporate different things into the classroom, such as bringing in guest speakers. Cummins (2019) believes that incorporating different languages within the classroom will help engage students to a multilingual background. By doing this we will be able to familiarize our students with different languages and cultures. This will hopefully help our classroom be more inclusive.
