Multilingualism, Interculturality, and Educational Innovation: Paving the Way for Interdisciplinary and Transversal Higher Education

Abstract

This study investigates the transformative potential of multilingualism and interculturality in driving pedagogical innovation within Moroccan higher education. The core issue examined is how Moroccan universities can effectively incorporate multilingual and intercultural dimensions into their curricula and teaching methodologies to address the challenges of globalization, while simultaneously promoting educational equity and fostering social advancement. The research also explores the interplay between these dimensions and broader concepts such as interdisciplinarity and transversality, analyzing their impact on shaping modern educational practices. By focusing on the strategies adopted by Moroccan universities to integrate diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives, the study aims to demonstrate how such approaches enrich academic programs and prepare students for success in an increasingly interconnected global workforce. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive framework that leverages diversity as a catalyst for educational reform and societal progress. Ultimately, the study positions Morocco as a potential model for other MENA countries facing comparable educational and sociocultural challenges.
