Explanation
NCF 2005 and modern multilingual education research treat children's home languages as a valuable resource in the classroom. Multilingual children bring rich linguistic repertoires that can be leveraged for translanguaging, comparison, code-switching, and deeper conceptual understanding. Viewing multilingualism as a challenge or hindrance reflects outdated monolingual ideology. Children's languages are assets to be utilized, not problems to be solved.
