Abstract

The goal of this research is to identify the best learning environments for students to receive a multilingual and multicultural education, to choose a workable approach that works well within the operations of a particular higher education institution, and to conduct empirical research to support that approach. The theoretical background for the theme issue of multilingual and multicultural student education in a higher education institution's activity system is compiled in this article, which also offers some concrete, workable solutions. The following results were compiled based on the findings of this study: The theoretical and methodological underpinnings of multilingual and multicultural education of students in a higher education institution are demonstrated through the analysis of philosophical, cultural, psychological, and educational resources.  According to the study, a multicultural society is any social structure that, under the influence of a number of variables, offers genuine chances for the linguistic and sociocultural integration of individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. These opportunities are founded on three fundamental tenets: equality, respect for human rights, and reciprocity. The social, linguistic, spatial-thematic, psychological, educational, and educational components of the structural elements of a higher education institution's learning environment have all been made clearer in this article. Additionally, it has become clearer how dualistic the environments of educational institutions and students are as the primary subjects of education. Higher education establishments place a strong emphasis on multiculturalism.
