Solution:

Multilingualism is the ability to use more than two languages. Multilingualism is constitutive of the identity of a child and a typical feature of the Indian linguistic landscape must be used as a resource, classroom strategy, and a goal by a creative language teacher.The above-mentioned strategy is known as multilingualism because multilingualism as a teaching strategy aims at using the languages of all children for teaching-learning.In the above-mentioned phenomenon, the learners will retell the story in the languages known to them which will be their mother tongue. It increases the better innate understanding of how language works.Multilingualism enhances creativity, divergent thinking and appreciation of local languages and ensures the inclusion of all students irrespective of their linguistic background. It connects the classroom with real life to make learners familiar with the content.Hint The term bilingualism has now, however, come to be accepted as the standard cover term for referring to all situations involving two languages. In a bilingual classroom, two languages, one that is to be learned and the other mother-tongue, are used. Translanguaging is flexible multilingualism. Whether it involves combining elements from different languages in the same utterance (codeswitching) or alternating between languages in different parts of a task, it is a natural means of employing ones linguistic resources to their greatest effect. Hence, it becomes clear that the above-mentioned strategy is known as multilingualism.
