,QUESTION 1 A multicultural classroom is a melting pot of
different cultures, and it is essential to acknowledge and respect
the cultural backgrounds of each student (Rasool & Curtis
2000:231–232). Teaching an additional language in a
multicultural country requires that a teacher recognises the
diversity of cultures within the classroom. Reciprocal
recognition and respect for one another's cultures and languages
are prerequisites for successful language teaching. With these
facts in mind answer the following questions: 1.1 There are two
definitions of multiculturalism given by Akcaoğlu, M.O. and
Arsal, Z. 2022. The effect of multicultural education on
preservice teachers’ 4 attitude and efficacy: testing Bank’s

Question 1.1: Definitions of Multiculturalism
Definitions from Akcaoğlu and Arsal (2022):
, 1. Definition 1: "Multiculturalism is the recognition and
appreciation of cultural diversity within a given society,
where diverse cultural groups maintain their distinct
cultural identities while participating equally in the social,
economic, and political life of the society."
2. Definition 2: "Multiculturalism involves creating an
inclusive environment that respects and values the cultural
differences of all individuals, promoting equal
opportunities and interactions among different cultural
groups."
Explanation in Own Words:
Definition 1: This definition of multiculturalism emphasizes the
coexistence and mutual respect of various cultural groups within
a society. It suggests that cultural diversity is not only
recognized but also appreciated, with each group maintaining its
unique cultural identity. At the same time, all cultural groups
have equal opportunities to participate fully in all aspects of
society, including social, economic, and political domains.
Essentially, this view of multiculturalism promotes a
harmonious society where diversity is seen as a strength, and
everyone is encouraged to contribute to the community while
preserving their cultural heritage.
Definition 2: The second definition focuses on the creation of
an inclusive environment where cultural differences are not just
acknowledged but valued and respected. This approach to
multiculturalism aims to ensure that all individuals, regardless of
their cultural background, have equal opportunities. It also
stresses the importance of fostering interactions among different
cultural groups, promoting mutual understanding, and reducing
