Description:

As a multicultural country, Canada also has immigrants from many different countries. Immigrant families from different countries mean having different backgrounds, races, languages ​​and cultures. Compared with adults, adolescents will have more problems integrating into the community due to a series of changes in the community environment, culture, and language. According to the course material, introducing multilingualism into the curriculum in three ways creates awareness of the multilingual and cultural advantages of trans-language pedagogies (Pacheco & Miller, 2015). As non-native speakers of English, they can be encouraged to use, share and promote different languages ​​in both courses and daily life in the community, which will also increase the diversity of the community while mastering English. This approach can help immigrant youth reduce the inferiority complex brought about by differences in language, culture and living environment, which can help them increase their sense of belonging to their community. Besides, the article mentioned that the use of bilingualism can improve academic, cognitive and social achievements, which means that we can also use these methods to help immigrant groups find their own future goals (Pacheco & Miller, 2015).

On the other hand, a short film about Playground Inclusion also inspired me to that the importance of increasing inclusiveness in many ways can help children and teenagers increase their sense of belonging, self-awareness and self-identity in different communities and societies. The short film described the experience of a disabled child in the form of animation, which made me realize the need to eliminate discrimination, treat everyone in society inclusively and equally and increase everyone's sense of participation (The CGBros, 2018).

During the learning process, we have been learning how to treat each student equally. Patience and inclusiveness are not only for the disabled, but many teenagers also need to be inclusive. They may be influenced by family factors, the relationship between classmates and teachers, academic performance and many other reasons that may lead to their changes. These changes can bring both advantages and disadvantages, such as excessive psychological pressure, evasion of study or even exposure to tobacco and alcohol. I think that when we have the right and ability to improve the lives of teenagers in the future, we can suggest that schools add more psychological counselling, pay attention to the changes of students in various aspects and the possible impact, which can help them find the direction of their efforts. While inclusive of every student, accepting the diversity of students and developing students in different ways to help them succeed.
