**6. Conclusion**

Teachers are aware of their diverse contexts and the importance of supporting and accommodating students with learning difficulties. However, there is also a call for further assistance and for further up-skilling. A study of this nature should be conducted on a larger scale and the strategies identified structured into professional development materials for teaching in linguistically diverse contexts. It is important that students who have to learn in multilingual and linguistically diverse classes have the support they require to thrive in these environments particularly when the language instruction has not yet been mastered.
