Masters Level Module
The Multilingual Classroom takes an in-depth look at diverse
classrooms of both children and young people in urban settings, by
examining key studies of research and practice in this field.
Although the focus is on London, the view taken is that it is
necessary to look more widely, nationally and internationally, at
how classrooms deal with diversity in the twenty first century,
particularly when learners are receiving an education through a
language other than their mother tongue. We contextualize the
situations we examine within wider social structures in order to
examine the impact on educational opportunity for minority ethnic
and bilingual learners. However the major emphasis is on how
bilingual learners are offered space in classrooms to maximize
current resources and develop new skills and knowledge. Tools for
conducting small-scale classroom research will be provided in the
programme of the module.
