# data[].attributes.body
I'm teaching in Italy. According to Dina, also I try to reflect on my teaching, during my lesson with students. They are from different countries, Ghana, North Africa, China, Siria, Russian area, Bulgaria, Albania, Romania, so it's very difficult to communicate with them at first entrance in scholastic community. For this reason I use a table in wich in column there are the Italian, English and specific mother tongue language, and in lines there are the specific words about topic. Then, all together try to compose contents of lesson. During this activity they can use their B.Y.O.D. and wordreference online dictionary.

When I'm planning an activity I try to consider the different nationalities of my students. If for example I talk about food or traditions or habits I usually ask the students.
Then I compare their different way of living and obviously this increases their awareness to diversity.

I don't have experience with multilingual classes, but I'm becoming more aware of how important it is to be language aware. I find Dina's work very interesting and I plan to look more into it. In Croatia, there are dialects that are quite different from the standard language and I think this may be similar to a multilingual situation, since these students should also be encouraged to express themselves using their own dialect whenever possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I completely agree with Dina about the importance of the linguistic diversity of our foreign students when we plan our lessons These students usually follow a particular curriculum adapted to their needs and abilities.  I teach English in a lower middle school and in my class I have always had some foreign students from Morocco, Nigeria, Bulgaria, Albania. I use to carry out comparison activities of their mother tongue and language used at school. I often motivate my students with culture activities in which everyone take part with their own experience. I think the use of more languages in class is important in order to put in practice a real integration.

As a preschool teacher, I have worked in bilingual classes. When planning lessons, the most difficult part was to step back from the actual age of children and rather pay attention to what they actually know, be it something really simple. It is very crucial to consider the students' actual abilities and be realistic, otherwise the lesson will be a fail.

In India , a class generally have students from ifferent states with different mother language. Being a teacher, it is important to transmit knowledge in whatsoever way we can use. Use of different languages help each and every student understand the concept which teacher wants to impart.

yes it is very important while teaching that one should keep in mind the understanding capabilities of the students, specially like in my country students of small age group don't easily understand English so to make them understand some words i translate it to Hindi.

Yes, it is important to reflect the linguistic and cultural capital of my students in the class as it makes the learning environment more interesting and easy to grasp. I use Experimental Learning method, which makes it easier for students to understand even with linguistic differences. However, it is difficult to guide in an unknown language environment.

# data[].attributes.body
In my classes there are a several bilingual students and I often find difficulties to ehnance this aspect although I know the importance of multilingualism.

Generally I use the flipped-classroom to encourage learning and collaboration , but it’s often difficult to maintain a guiding role when I have to interact with unknown languages.

I have many bilingual students in my classes. The more bilingual students a teacher has in class, the more opportunities a teacher has to truly understand and embrace cultural diversity first hand.

when I plan the activities to be carried out in the classroom I try to develop essentially two key European skills: communicating in the mother tongue and developing language skills in English

# data[].attributes.body
In every country I am, I always consider adapting my examples according to the reality of the area. I think that if you apply the use of key words, you can introduce the importance of Spanish (for example) which is a romance language derived from Latin. English terminology for any field of specialized knowledge in the natural sciences and the humanities have a root in Latin. When spanish-speakers see those roots gain more enthusiasm to learn about the subject.

Since children are mixed in the classroom and some have different nationalities, I try my best to keep the fact in mind when planning lessons and often times I re explain the lesson in a different language other than the native one. Also, I ask children to contribute during circle time by telling the rest of the class about their country and their language and traditions.

I don't teach billingual students as english is taught as a foreign language to greek students. The truth is that some years ago, when families from Albania tended to migrate to Greece, students did have the anxiety to speak the greek language rather than the english one. Besides, greek was the language of the school environment and that was the most important for them if they wanted to be an active part of the school community. Now that i am attending this seminar I can realise more reasons why students should use all languages they know.

Reflecting on my own practice I have bitterly realized I’m not following Dina’s advice to the right extent. Actually, I’m not considering my students’ language abilities when planning lessons and, honestly,  I’m not embedding enough examples my lessons which reflect my students’ linguistic and cultural capital. Indeed, Dr. Dina Mehmedbegovic’s list of benefits of bilingualism has strongly impressed me. I’m definitely going to reflect upon what I don’t say and I don’t do in my daily teaching in order to make room to different languages in my classroom.

I teach Italian as second language so I usually consider my students' language abilities while planning lessons. In some difficult situations, when for example I had students who had difficulties in reading and speaking, I tried to ask them to do the same think in their mothertongue in order to understand if it was a matter of language used or lack of a particular competence, in order to decide which strategies I could put forward to help them. Unfortunately I'm always rushing, time is never enough and I don't spend enough time in understanding where exactly is the problem. With reference to using my students' cultural capital in the class, I usually do lots of discussion and I let them think a lot about this topic, but I don't have so many possibilities to create moments where students can share their language capital.... actually I'm a bit afraid that giving them too many different language inputs create confusion in more fragile students (my students are adult people), in particular because they are learning a new language.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a few bilingual students, but I use in all my lessons examples from their language. I like to show differences from the language I teach and the mother language. It is very important for them to have a good mother language. That is my big problem,they do not have information about their own language and culture to solve my tasks.
