Interactive teaching and learning techniques in the context of multicultural education

Abstract

This article examines the role of culturally responsive teaching and highlights the importance of moving beyond traditional, homogeneous methods towards more dynamic, culturally inclusive approaches that emphasize student engagement, real-world applications, and intercultural communication. Culturally responsive teaching fosters inclusivity by acknowledging students’ cultural backgrounds, while cooperative learning encourages collaboration and problem-solving across diverse groups. The article provides practical strategies for implementing these approaches, including projectbased learning, role-playing, and group discussions. Additionally, it investigates the integration of digital tools to facilitate interactive and inclusive learning environments. By fostering critical thinking, global awareness, and inclusivity, these strategies contribute to building a multicultural and cohesive educational space. The article also addresses the challenges and advantages of applying these techniques, offering insights into their relevance across various learning settings and their potential for promoting learner autonomy and long-term retention.
