Manifesto

This manifesto represents what I learned in the course of "Multilingualism and the Classroom" and my ideas for teaching now and in the future. 1.  I believe that History is important in language teaching.           As language teachers, it is extremely important to know the history of the language and why it is taught while other languages are dying. We need to teach our students that all languages are equally valuable and they must not be discriminated against. We also must be prepared to help any indigenous students that we might have in the future. We should at least learn some phrases from their language to help them when they may have difficulties understanding something in the language that we teach. Understanding this History can help us understand better why some languages are used more in the country.
