Building Blocks: The First Steps of Creating a Multicultural Classroom
Discovering diversity takes creativity, extra effort, diligence, and courage on the teacher's part. A
multicultural classroom must thrive on these differences and use them as a foundation for growth and
development. Differences command work, resolution, openness, and understanding. Teachers who
address these differences and add them to the curriculum will succeed in creating a multicultural
5 classroom that will advance the educational goals of all students.
(...) Teachers in multicultural classrooms must be open to their students and put forth the effort
needed to get to know their students inside and outside of class. If a teacher is hesitant about being
open, the class will reciprocate and the students will become estranged from one another and the
teacher. In order to be open, teachers must be interested in their students, fearless, willing to try new
10 and different things, sure of themselves in order to avoid taking things personally, and non-
judgmental of his or her students (Canning 196). Also, openness is not making assumptions and being
prepared for the unexpected (Canning 199). (...)Many cultures have many different mores and
folkways. Teachers must be open to what the students are doing and find out why they do what they
do. This openness will create communication in the class, which will ultimately develop into a
15 classroom that is learning, understanding, and culturally fluent.
In addition to openness, teachers must know the learning patterns of the students in their class.
Teachers must understand the learning patterns of the students who grew up in a culture other than
their own. Teachers who open themselves up to cultural difference will effectively handle culture
clash while teachers who assume that student A is rude and student B is dumb will close
20 communication in the classroom and destroy any hope of having a multicultural classroom. The best
way to handle culture clash is to be open, knowledgeable, and not be afraid to talk about the cultural
differences in class no matter what discipline the teacher is teaching (Jones 12). An open teacher will
create an open class and an open class will have open lines of communication that will create a positive
and beneficial learning environment for everyone.
25 (...) Gloria Boutte and Christine McCormick suggest six basic principles for teachers to use when
evaluating their culturally diverse classroom, these are, "1) building multicultural programs, 2)
showing appreciation of differences, 3) avoiding stereotypes, 4) acknowledging differences in
children, 5) discovering the diversity within the classroom, 6) avoiding pseudomulticulturalism"
(140). Showing appreciation of differences is very important because a teacher who does not show
30 appreciation of all the differences in their class will not get the chance to attempt any of the other five
principles. Teachers need to pay attention to their verbal and nonverbal language when he or she
responds to students who speak differently. For example, if a child reads, "Dere go the sto-man", the
teacher should avoid interrupting the student to provide the correct English version. Instead, the
teacher should thank the student for reading and then model the correct English version when she or
35 he speaks. However, the most important thing to remember about all classrooms is the premise that
every child is unique. All children are different and beautiful in their own way, no one student should
feel excluded from the class.
(...) Creating multicultural classrooms is a growing priority for all teachers and administrators. This
includes restructuring classroom evaluation and punishment techniques, but, more importantly, it
40 includes embracing difference and opening up the classroom for communication.

The use of music and songs in the EFL classroom
There are quite a lot of positive sides of learning English via
the medium music. First of all it is a very positive way of
learning English. Music is a part of our everyday life and
especially young people are very familiar with music. If the
5 teacher provides the possibility of a positive access to a new
topic, the kids will learn the new things easier and with more
fun and readiness. I am sure that the one or the other pupil
turns out to be a little “music-expert”. This can strengthen the
self-consciousness of students who are not so good at other
10 areas because now they have the opportunity to show what
they know about a special artist or band. Another pro of
teaching language by using songs and music is that it is
something different for the students – it is an alternation to
the common methods of language learning, because it is not
15 only interested in input. Learning with music speaks more than
other language-learning-methods to the audio-channel of the
learner, which has the positive effect of training listening and
comprehending language which is modified in terms of
intonation, pronunciation and articulation. Music in the
20 classroom can also be arranged in corporation with teachers of
other subjects, so that kids have the opportunity to use and
practise the new knowledge in more than one subject.
Teachers of English could not only work together with teachers
of music, but also with teachers of German, religion, ethics and
25 history. There is a variety of different thematic blocks which
can be taught with the help of songs, for example cultural or
social studies, to name only two areas.
However, using music and songs as a method of language
teaching can also have negative effects. Not every student likes
30 singing, acting or working with music and songs. Some find it
embarrassing and childish, especially older students. If the
majority of a class consists of students who feel like that about
working with music and songs in the classroom, the teacher
should be aware of the problem that it will be hard to motivate
35 the pupils. It can also be that some pupils protest and even
refuse to do several activities given by the teacher. […] Another
problem for teachers is the question of the right choice of
songs. Nowadays the kids are crazy about music which is called
“Death Metal”, “Hip Hop” or “Acid House”. So, many teachers
40 think that it is hard to fill the pupils of today with enthusiasm
by using Oldies.
Despite the fact that there are more positive effects of
learning a second language with songs and music than negative
ones, most teachers look at this method with mixed emotions.
45 Some are of the opinion that this is no real teaching and a
waste of time with some senseless activities. This is not true, of
course. Out of my own pupil-experience I can say that I have
learned quite a lot with the help of songs. I have acquired not
only a plenty of new words and vocabulary, but also several
50 idioms and many ways to express feelings.

The modal verb in “Teachers of English could not only work together with teachers of music” (lines 23 and 24) implies
Columbia University Accidentally Sends Acceptance Letters to 277 Students
There's nothing worse than waiting months to hear back from your dream school only to get rejected. But imagine receiving an acceptance email and telling all your friends, family and followers the amazing news, only to find out that you didn't actually get accepted.
That's what happened to over 200 grad students who applied to the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. According to the New York Times, 277 students mistakingly received acceptance emails and it wasn't until over an hour later that the school sent out a second email informing them of the mixup, and that they, in fact, had not been accepted.
In the follow-up email from the vice dean for education, the university apologized for the mistake, blaming "human error".

The Role of Museums in Education
Museums provide knowledge and inspiration, while also connecting communities. At a time of economic recovery, and in the run-up to the Olympics, they are more important than ever. Museums and galleries deliver world-class public services which offer individuals and families free and inspiring places to visit and things to do. Museums attract audiences from home and abroad. Museums provide the places and resources to which people turn for information and learning. They care for the legacy of the past while creating a legacy for the future.
Museums are uniquely egalitarian spaces. Whether you are rich, poor, or uniquely-abled, the museum door is always an open welcome. A sense of history and beauty, gifts from our cultural heritage, inspires the ordinary soul into extraordinary possibilities. They bind communities together, giving them heart, hope and resilience. They make a vital contribution to international relations and play a unique role in fostering international cultural exchange. If life was just about earning to eat, we'd be depleted and tired. Museums bring to life the opportunity to experience meaning beyond the mundane. Museums make the soul sing!
The most visible and expected offerings of a museum are its exhibitions. Exhibitions tell stories through objects. In a world where virtual experiences are ever increasing, museums provide tangible encounters with real objects.
What does looking at a crystal clear specimen of beryl, a vertebrate fossil emerging from its plaster jacket, or the flag that flew over Inge Lehman's seismological observatory provide in an educational sense? Some professionals maintain that the visceral reaction of wonder, awe or curiosity – the affective response of the viewer – is the enduring legacy of a museum visit. It opens the door to the visitor's mind, engaging them in a discipline that perhaps failed to interest them through other means, and might inspire them to learn more. Furthermore, the social context of a museum visit, where exploration occurs in a friendly atmosphere without the pressure of tests and grades, helps keep that door open.
Curators and educators also aspire to engage the rational mind of the viewer. A mineral collected in the field and displayed in the museum is out of its original context, but thoughtful juxtaposition of the mineral with other objects helps the visitor make new connections. Exhibit labels or a knowledgeable docent leading a tour not only inform directly, but also guide visitors in making their own observations of the object. Hands-on displays combined with objects can provide forceful connections – an “aha!” experience for the visitor.Alan J. Friedman, the former director of the New York Hall of Science, recounts a watershed experience during a 1970 museum visit in which a model telescope that the could touch and adjust brought to life the meaning of the antique telescope.
Museums are the world's great learning resource – they introduce new subjects, bring them alive and give them meaning. Learning in museums improves confidence and attainment: it also opens us to the views of our fellow citizens. Museum collections and the knowledge of museum professionals inspire learning. As the world around us changes, museums and galleries promote awareness of the critical questions of place, humanity, science and innovation.
