Miller, Zubin – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2020

Bisai, Samrat; Singh, Smriti – TEFLIN Journal: A publication on the teaching and learning of English, 2020
In a multilingual classroom, students come from various cultural, linguistic, and racial backgrounds. They have different ideologies, opinions, and needs. In this regard, 'one size fits all' pedagogy is not only irrelevant but also absurd because the instructions and interactions in the classroom do not cater to the needs of all the students.…
