One of the many challenges that teachers face in mathematics classrooms is determining how much of the verbal and written explanations help students accomplish instructional goals. The challenge is greater in linguistically diverse classrooms because the explanations and multiple representations are not perceived uniformly by all students.

The article presents findings from a multisited ethnography in two public high schools in Los Angeles and New York City. Schools were chosen for their hyper-diverse student populations. Students came from over 40 countries, speaking 20 languages in one school and 33 languages in another. Results of analysis found that despite contrasting missions, policies, organizational structures, curricular techniques, and teachers’ beliefs and attitudes across schools, youths’ practices were similar. Youth enacted explicit transcultural repertoires of practice: multiplicities of talking, thinking, and acting that engaged the resources and opportunities of ethnically and linguistically diverse classrooms. The article theorizes the importance of recognizing hyper-diversity as a distinct cultural context that shapes and situates youths’ practices and therefore their opportunities to learn.

The presence of refugee students in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms relatively influences thedevelopment of local students as well. Students with different languages and cultural background in a learningenvironment create a different atmosphere and may influence the attitude of local students to other languages andcultures. Therefore, this study investigated how and to what extent native students were influenced from refugeestudents in terms of linguistic and cultural perspective. The mixed method was used in this study. Quantitative datawere collected from local students in culturally and linguistically diverse classrooms through a questionnaire andqualitative data were collected from teachers teaching in these classrooms by means of interviews. The results of thestudy revealed that there were remarkable positive effects of the integration process on both sides though variousproblems emerged in diverse classrooms. The findings of this research may also (delete) give implications about theinfluence of refugee movement for other cultures.
