@TANIA2a4b8fae35 well said. Language is an important tool. I want to quote a non native students got admission in our school. She does her homework and fair work timely in a good manner. But she faces great difficulty in understanding lectures or teachers. We offer her individual help all the time with language. She even hesitates communicating with fellow students in language of theirs. We are trying various strategies to work out the best results. Same applies to some teachers whose language is not native. They face difficulty conveying the message clearly all the time

@Mariya-Rajpar Comprehension challenges in lectures: Language barriers can exacerbate the problem when students struggle to catch every word spoken by the professor. The acoustics of the room and the professor's speaking volume and clarity can significantly impact comprehension.

@Hiba-khan visual aid supplements words with pictures, charts, graphs, or other visual information. They are important because they help the audience understand and remember, increase audience interest, and act as notes or reminders for the speaker.

@Sanaa Overcoming language barriers in a multicultural classroom requires a strategic and multifaceted approach. By incorporating visual aids, peer mentoring, interactive activities, simplified language, and technology tools, educators can create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment.

@GULZAR-ALI According to Edutopia, “All kids learn better when they engage with material in multiple ways: Lessons that involve writing, speaking, drawing and listening, for example, give students four opportunities to deepen their understanding of the work.
