Multicultural Education
Multicultural Education: A pedagogical approach that values and integrates the cultural experiences, perspectives, and contributions of diverse groups, including but not limited to race, ethnicity, language, religion, gender, socioeconomic status, and sexual orientation. It aims to foster equity, social justice, and inclusivity in educational settings by recognizing and addressing systemic barriers that perpetuate discrimination and marginalization. In the context of English education, multicultural education may involve teaching strategies that account for diverse English dialects and pronunciation patterns while promoting critical literacy and cultural awareness.
