Option 2 : reduce prejudice and stereotypes and value diversity.

Diversity in the classroom whether it be in any terms like students of different cultures, cognitive abilities, places, or speaking different languages should be considered as an added asset for the teaching-learning process.When a new student from a different country joins your class, which predominantly consists of local students. A teacher gets an opportunity to:

  • explain the importance of diversity to the students in any terms.
  • explain to the students that prejudice (a preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or experience) and stereotypes (to believe unfairly that all people or things with a particular characteristic are the same) are not good practices.
  • allow students to explore the culture and language of that new student by having a healthy conversation with them.
  • make students accept the diversity in the country and respect others' practices or traditions when they become citizens of the country.

Hence this is important to reduce prejudice and stereotypes and value diversity.

  1. Promoting speaking and interpersonal skills in students could be a narrow aim to achieve via this approach.
  2. Allow expression of one's attitudes toward other cultures could lead to a impact negative if all of the student's families do not follow secularism.
  3. Realizing how other cultures are much better than one's own is not right as all cultures have their own history and importance.
