Abstract

This study explores the perceptions of middle-level school teachers in Delhi regarding teaching and learning in multilingual classrooms. With a focus on India's linguistic diversity and educational context, the study examines the implications and nuances of multilingual education. The research involved 1,443 teachers and utilized a questionnaire as the primary research tool. The study's major findings highlight teachers' attitudes toward language learning, the use of home languages in classrooms, translation practices, and the impact of multilingualism on teaching and learning. The consensus among teachers on the benefits of multilingualism for cognitive skills and career success underscores the importance of promoting linguistic diversity in education
