INTEGRATING SPEECH SKILLS IN BILLINGUAL AND MULTILINGUAL
Abstract
This exploration into the integration of speech skills in bilingual and multilingual classrooms seeks to delve into the strategies, challenges, and transformative potential of speech-centered teaching. It highlights the need for pedagogical approaches that are flexible, student-centered, and rooted in linguistic equity. Ultimately, by prioritizing speech skills in a way that honors each learner's voice and background, educators can help build bridges between languages, foster cross-cultural understanding, and empower students to become articulate and confident communicators in a multilingual world.
