Abstract

Multilingualism is not a new phenomenon. Around the world, multilingualism is a relatively widespread phenomenon. It is essential for the field of language education to consider and make adjustments to this reality because multilingualism brings opportunities and problems for all educational systems. In fields like linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and education, multilingualism can be researched from a variety of angles because it is a multifaceted phenomenon. The teaching environment is improving with time as a result of the growth of teaching resources, favouring multilingual education. Globalization is associated with the need to increase our understanding of individual and societal multilingualism. Adopting a worldwide multilingual strategy could be a smart move to promote linguistic and cultural equity, which would afterwards lead to sustainable development.
