EU strongly advocates multilingualism as a social tool for interaction, communication, learning and working. As many schools have adopted at least two foreign languages, learners acquire linguistic skills to learn subject content, which enables them to use both divergent and convergent thinking skills to communicate and collaborate efficiently.
Teachers, therefore, need to understand how to scaffold bilingual learners in language acquisition, motivate them to efficiently use the languages in self-discovery, and to appreciate the opportunity to learn more about different cultures.
