Language and Communication in a Multilingual Classroom
Introduction
This project will focus on language communication in a multilingual classroom specifically in art and design HE environment.
Using my own experiences as a student who studied photography in a higher education environment and who’s first language is not English, I will explore themes around accessibility and inclusivity as well as belonging. My research will mainly consist of references about learning backgrounds, the complications of learning a language and how different is to use it in an academic environment. I will also explore different methods of research such as auto ethnography and semi structured interviews.
The aim of this project is to investigate the barriers of language and communication in a multilingual classroom and find ways to create a more inclusive environment.
