Closed. This professor is continuing with Fall 2023 apprentices on this project; no new apprentices needed for Spring 2024.
In this project, we will address the benefits of multilingualism engagement in schools to improve education for a more equitable world since languages are part of identities and cultures. Focusing on the leadership role in teaching and learning, a comparative study in multilingualism in the United States, Germany, Norway, France, Algeria and Jordan, would provide an understanding of the tools required for inclusion and equity. We argue that multilingualism in education ought to be defined as one of the most important tools to achieve learning through collaboration for innovation in all subjects. Furthermore, multilingualism can better enhance multiple subjects learning in a multicultural environment using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) at the chore of research methodology. Adopting NLP as a holistic approach in motivation and action research could determine how to cater to different populations emphasizing for example accent, translation and the understanding of culture.
