Read Research on the Benefits of Multilingualism!
From: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/flan.12652
This case study profiles one multilingual learner's trajectory learning 15 different languages. It addresses the personal and social factors that lead this learner to study so many languages, the learner’s identity formation in various L2s, the learner's level of engagement with various L2s, and the structural and social factors encouraging or discouraging the learner to engage in study. It also summarizes the pedagogical implications for multilingual learners. This article would be helpful for teachers or administrators looking to understand the learning needs specific to multilingual learners.

Title: Multicultural awareness and foreign language learning among Chinese college students: a one-year longitudinal investigation

Read research about Multiculturality and Language Learning!
From: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/14790718.2019.1680680
The study explored the longitudinal relationship between multicultural awareness and language development among collegiate English as a foreign language (EFL) students. Sixty-five first-year college students participated in the study. Drawing on the Multicultural Awareness-Knowledge-Skills Survey (MAKSS) [D’Andrea, M., Daniels, J., & Heck, R. (1991). Evaluating the impact of multicultural counseling training. Journal of Counseling & Development, 70(1), 143–150; Perkins, R. M. (2012). The multicultural awareness, knowledge, skills and attitudes of prospective teachers: A quantitative and heuristic phenomenological study (Unpublished doctoral dissertation). University of Missouri, Kansas City] and a series of proficiency measurements (vocabulary, reading and writing abilities), the study found that the participating EFL students generally had positive attitudes toward multicultural differences, however they did not seem to be confident about dealing with multicultural situations in real life. More important, the results showed that multicultural awareness measurements did not contribute to foreign language skills within a short period of time, while the contribution was substantial over one academic year. Discussion and implications centred on the uniqueness of language development in the foreign language context and the indirect utilities of multicultural awareness in second or foreign language development.

From: https://daily.jstor.org/how-films-can-teach-history/
This article proposes using films about historical events in order to support learners in their understanding of the historical contexts of popular culture. While the article is written for a general cultural studies audience, its recommendations would be useful for language teachers. Language students, like cultural studies or film students, can discover much about target language culture and history through film. This resource would be useful for teachers looking to use film as the basis for activities focused on learner-generated content and historical analysis.
