Nurbakyt Assenkhanov, Konstantions Kristofer Dimitriou
ABSTRACT
The aim of this research
project is to investigate the
impact of multilingualism on
the educational process,
particularly on students'
academic performance,
language skills, and cultural
awareness. The project aims
to explore the benefits and
challenges of multilingualism
in the classroom and to
provide insights into the
strategies and resources that
educators can use to support
multilingual students
effectively.
This study used data from a
paper questionnaire
concerning the opinions of
participants on the main
issues of multilingualism and
education. The results showed
that almost all respondents
speak two languages, and this
helps them to study more
information in the languages
they need. This means that
multilingualism mainly has an
effect on the learning process.
INTRODUCTION
RESULTS
According to Duff (2015), multilingual communication
In this research project, the relationship between
multilingualism and academic performance was
investigated in a sample of 25 students. The study
demonstrated that multilingual students
outperformed monolingual students academically in
several topics, such language arts and social studies,
by using both quantitative and qualitative data
gathering techniques. Language competence, family
participation, and teacher support are among the
elements that affect multilingual students’ academic
achievement, according to the study. According to the
research, teachers should take into account the
language and cultural backgrounds of their students
and offer them specialized support to ensure their
academic success.
This research has shed light on the impact of
multilingualism on the educational process.
The findings suggest that multilingualism can
positively affect various cognitive abilities,
such as problem-solving, memory retention,
and creativity. Additionally, multilingualism
can promote cultural understanding and
enhance communication skills. However, the
research also identified several challenges,
such as the lack of resources and support for
multilingual education, the dominance of the
majority language, and the difficulty of
implementing effective language policies.
CONCLUSIONS
Moreover, the research has identified
strategies to promote multilingualism in
educational institutions, such as offering
more language options for students,
celebrating linguistic diversity, encouraging
language learning as a valuable skill, and
providing support for multilingual students.
However, the study also revealed that there is
a need for greater support and training for
teachers to handle the challenges associated
with multilingual education.
may result in the emergence of hybrid or assimilated
identities, potentially affecting one's sense of
belonging and identity within a community. Yağmur
(2016) suggests that multilingualism among
immigrants can be perceived as either an advantage
or disadvantage, highlighting its importance in
helping individuals integrate into new societies and
cultures. According to the WHO (2019), effective
multilingual communication is crucial in closing
communication gaps and improving global health
outcomes, emphasizing the impact of language
barriers on healthcare and patient care.
Globalization has led to significant changes in
cultural and linguistic diversity, emphasizing the
importance of multilingualism in enabling
communication and connection with people from
different backgrounds (Rozina G., 2019).
Multilingualism is becoming the norm in language
classrooms and there is a need for a more flexible
approach to language learning that blurs the borders
between languages instead of reinforcing strict
separation (Singleton A. et al., 2013; Butzkamm and
Caldwell, 2009).
METHODS AND MATERIALS
Multilingualism impact on the educational
process is a complex problem that requires indepth examination. As part of my research, I
looked at the relationship between
multilingualism and education, focusing on how
it affects students' academic performance,
language skills, and cultural awareness. The
results of this study suggest that multilingualism
might be advantageous for students since it
enhances their cognitive and academic skills and
promotes a better understanding of diverse
cultures. The results of the study also highlighted
the challenges teachers have when introducing
multilingualism in the classroom and the need of
providing teachers with enough preparation and
tools to successfully teach multilingual students.
The results point to the necessity for more study
on multilingualism and its impact on education.
DISCUSSION
This research is designed to discover the ways in
which being proficient in multiple languages can
impact the learning process of individuals. This
chapter will describe the research method,
questions, population and the process.
This study will use the method of questionnaire.
The reason for this is convenience and control.
The questionnaire conducted in English, and had 4
qualitative, 10 quantitative questions.
