Summary/Abstract: The increasing mobility of populations, the expansion of international education, and the dominance of global communication networks have transformed classrooms into linguistically and culturally diverse spaces. Multilingualism has become a defining characteristic of contemporary education systems worldwide. This research article explores global perspectives on teaching and learning in multilingual contexts, focusing on theoretical frameworks, pedagogical practices, assessment challenges, and policy implications. Drawing on interdisciplinary research from applied linguistics, education, and sociocultural theory, the article argues that multilingualism should be viewed as a pedagogical resource rather than a problem to be managed. Emphasis is placed on translanguaging, teacher beliefs, learner identity, and inclusive assessment practices. The study concludes by outlining implications for teacher education, curriculum design, and language policy in increasingly diverse educational environments.
