Inclusive Education in a Diverse Language Class: Challenges and Best Practices
Derrick Adjei Kankam
NECTFL Review, n94 p117-126 2025
As language classrooms become increasingly diverse, educators face a daily challenge of navigating linguistic, cultural, and learning differences among students from different cultures and backgrounds. The diverse language environment, which many educators perceive to be challenging to manage, also presents valuable opportunities for implementing inclusive education, which promotes fair and equitable learning, especially for students from marginalized and underrepresented groups and students with learning difficulties. This article examines some difficulties teachers face in the implementation of inclusive education and proposes strategies teachers can adopt in making their classes more inclusive.
