Bridging the Gap : Language and Learning Mathematics in Plurilingual Classrooms with Newcomer Students
Overview
The growing number of newcomer students in classrooms worldwide presents both challenges and opportunities for educators. Plurilingual classrooms, where students speak multiple languages, offer a rich learning environment. However, navigating the intersection of language development and mathematics acquisition for newcomer students can be complex. This article explores strategies to bridge the gap between language and mathematics learning in these classrooms, fostering success for all students. Challenges and Opportunities Newcomer students often lack proficiency in the language of instruction, making it difficult to grasp mathematical concepts explained verbally. Traditional math teaching, heavily reliant on spoken language, can leave them feeling lost and discouraged. However, these students bring valuable mathematical knowledge and problem-solving skills from their native languages and prior experiences.
