AN expert in mathematics and science education, Patrick Obot, has proposed the use of an innovative solution to enhance multilingual learners’ success in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. Obot proposed that the innovative Culturally Relevant and Internationally Informed Mathematics Education (CRIIME) framework can be integrated into teaching science and mathematics to help multilingual learners. He disclosed that the proposed framework blends culturally relevant teaching practices with suitable global practices and educational standards to create a learning experience that enhances multilingual learners’ success in science and mathematics. Obot also disclosed that the proposed CRIIME framework also “addresses the challenges many educators face in increasingly diverse classrooms. By integrating the framework into classroom instruction, learning experiences will be more practicable and align with multilingual learners’ academic needs.”He added that the framework also offers a scalable and adaptable solution for educators globally, making it an essential tool for improving mathematics education in multilingual settings.
