The book Teaching English in Multilingual Secondary Schools: Bridging Languages, Empowering Minds is about the fondness of the English Language and Multilingualism. The book is designed to examine the concept and existence of the language inside and out of the classroom. It is very much found in education but plays a minimal role in the household domain. This book aims to argue that the multilingual population is interested in both the English language and effective teaching. Effective teaching is possible only when teaching is done in the language of the child so that they may not feel to be themselves in a foreign land.The book presents the opinion that teachers have to realise that the goal of education is effective learning and that achieving this goal is possible only when teaching is done in the language of the child. No hard barriers should exist due to language.The book will benefit those studying or working in the areas of ELT, Linguistics, Education and Teaching Methodology.
