Abstract: The increasing global mobility has led to a rise in multilingual classrooms, making foreign language teaching more complex. In such environments, using students’ native languages to teach foreign languages has become problematic. This challenge is even more pronounced when teaching languages other than English (LOTEs) in multilingual settings, where relying on a common native language is no longer feasible. This is especially true for high-context languages, which depend heavily on contextual and non-verbal cues for communication. These languages often convey implicit information, requiring a deep understanding of context, shared experiences, and cultural references for effective communication. Examples of high-context languages include Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Arabic, and Spanish.
