Question 1: Multicultural Classrooms
1.1 Modelling as an Instructional Strategy:
Definition: Modelling involves demonstrating a skill or
process to students so they can observe how it’s done. The
teacher showcases the behavior, technique, or thinking
process, and then students replicate it. This helps learners
understand the steps and cognitive processes involved.
1.2 Techniques to Enhance Modelling in Multilingual
Classrooms:
Visual Aids: Using images, diagrams, or charts alongside
verbal explanations can bridge language gaps.
Think-Alouds: Teachers verbalize their thought process to
demonstrate how to approach a task.
Peer Modelling: Allowing more advanced students to
model tasks for others.
1.3 Scaffolding in Multilingual Classrooms:
Explanation: Scaffolding is providing support that gradually
decreases as learners gain independence. In multilingual
