Abstract

Students' diversity in terms of culture, race, ethnicity, religion, and language is continually growing in both Federation-wide and international educational institutions. This variety aids students in gaining the multilingual and multicultural abilities that are essential for successful global interaction. An education that incorporates at least three languages—native, regional, or national—is referred to as multilingual education. Up to 50% of children worldwide are currently receiving their education in bilingual and multilingual settings, according to the most recent data. One contemporary trend in higher education is the shift towards multimodal universities, which suggests that linguistic adaptability is a prerequisite for cultural development. During the pedagogical experiment, we came to the conclusion that students in our nation have not yet fully developed multicultural and multilingual skills, which are defined by the presence of knowledge about both their own and foreign cultures and a tolerant attitude toward representatives of a foreign culture. On the basis of this, we examined the technologies, forms, and multicultural personality development techniques used by students in the People's Republic of England in order to determine whether or not they could be incorporated into the national educational system.
