My experience shows that the most important think to  develop an educational success is to create a good atmosphere. It makes teachers do their job with responsibility and love. In that case, students look at the school in which they study in a different way: full of colors, with colored classroom, friendly objects, to live the school relaxed and in harmony. For this reason it’s necessary the cooperation of a headmaster to create a pleasant atmosphere for productive pedagogical work and develop a sense of belonging to the school community. _obser�N| 6�g

It was very interesting for students reflect about their identity and encouraging discuss about their culture background, their language to become more self confident in a new context. Teachers have to support students with seminars, roundtables, and conferences to develop intercultural and linguistic competence. In the classroom it is important to develop the ability to tell personal stories in order to understand personal identity but also to empathize with others.

Supporting students with different first languages

It’s great
allowing parents to become part of the school community and support staff and
teachers to work in practice. This collaboration reinforce the leaning process
and helps students to be less suspicious. A defining feature to understand
multiliguality is the use of visual support in classroom and another important
thing is students understand that it’s possible to use their home language and new
language L2. I also agree with the choice of bilingual books but I think the
collaboration of parents in these spaces it is very difficult!

I usually use Skype for small groups of students to make short webinar and create a positive climate between them. But they can use in the classroom their mobile devices. They use cell phones to do research on the web, to carry out the on-line test, using Kahoot and a lot of APP to create storytelling (storyboard That) and trailer(iMovie).

I teach in a secondary school, and my students belong to a linguistic minority group ‘ancient Albanian’. This group try to promote a positive image of minority language. But in my classroom, linguistic diversity is not seen as a resource! My students think cultural and linguistic diversity as a problem because they associated it with their socioeconomically disadvantaged.

You are a reflective practitioner who pro-actively engages with your students and everything they bring to the class. Your engagement with parents and local community allow you to fully understand your students and make the learning experience relevant and effective for them. Your openness and curiosity allow you to integrate different cultural practices into your teaching and ensures that the diversity of every one of your classes is accounted for in the resources and teaching practices used in the classroom.

First, it is necessary that teachers understand the complexity of teaching diverse groups of students. All students should feel encouraged and free to express their opinion. You can then transmit social and cultural skills and gradually intercultural sensitivity. Acquiring cultural competence is a gradual process.  It is necessary to have experience,  create moments of observation and interaction in the classroom and with parents and between peers.

Today it’s not enough teaching a language strictly as a communicative function! There are a lot of scholars who stress the importance of a language that is first of all 'polis' and not just 'logos'. I fully agree because this explains why students have difficulty producing 'real' speeches in L2.  Language is especially an intentional act. For example it'is very useful for students create an identity of a character they love and internalize appropriate products: songs, diaries, blog, interviews……. then 'rewrite'  and repeat the same things as their double. Students work in groups and then will exchange research products. Groups meet to narrate their experiences. They can contextualize and produce linguistic and cultural real examples. From then on, they'll speak and act consequently.

To become an interculturally competent teacher is not easy! Teacher has to reflect on his values including family/cultural background. It’s changed the teacher’s role. In the classroom he doesn’t transmit but leads, reflects, encourages and supports students in every moment of their learning process. The teachers have to find a meeting point on neutral ground. “They don’t only teach what they Know but to learn what they don’t know” I agree with this statement. The teacher has to show desire to learn, having eyes full of curiosity, listening skills and  he must feel part of a life’s  project to share with his students!

There are many forms of diversity in the classroom. I am taking the course because it is important for a teacher to know the different attitudes of loneliness and distress. There aren’t many immigrant students in my school and I see few immigrant students, second generation, attending school successfully. There are other aspects of diversity. My students belong to a linguistic minority group. This group try to promote a positive image of minority language. At the European level, linguistic diversity is seen as a patrimony that must be protected, but it's not true! Our students don’t see the maintenance of minority languages  as a priority but as an inconvenience especially for families socioeconomically and culturally disadvantaged. For this reason, teachers must work to create a relaxed atmosphere in the classroom. I see classroom climate as a major determiner of classroom behavior and learning. I think it is necessary understanding how to establish and maintain a positive classroom climate especially to improve the relationship with/among students. I think it is very useful for teachers to have a support!

Hello from Calabria! My name's Anna Scola and I teach English as L2 in Higher Secondary Schools in a small provincial town. I am open and likeable person and I am very fond of Edu Tech, but I am interested in music and art too. Every day I learn more from the students I teach than perhaps what they learn from me! I love watching some students grow and take steps towards discovering, effectively, who they are. It is for that reason that teaching is the best job in the world!
