Multiculturalism and Plurilingualism: Challenges for School Teacher Education

Abstract

This work is the result of a comparative study on the training received by Spanish teachers, French, Italian and Greek Primary Education in multicultural and multilingual competences and their perception of the diversity of students in order to develop methodological proposals appropriate to their needs. Through a quantitative, comparative and theoretical and epistemological review method, we can see the need to improve the initial and continuing training of teachers in multiculturalism and multilingualism in the countries participating in the project.
