Abstract
Language classrooms in Australian universities have become more multilingual in recent years. This is because of an increase in the number of international students as well as students who were born outside of Australia, but were brought up in Australia because their parents have migrated to the country. These factors have contributed to an increasing diversity of students in language classrooms and as a result, they have brought a unique aspect to Australian classrooms – learners do not share the same first language. Although English is a common language in Australia, it may be a student’ssecond or third language. English is, however, the only language that makes learners’communication possible in diverse classrooms.
