This paper presents information on the factors affecting the development
of multilingual and multicultural communicative competence in interactive
multimodal learning environments in an academic context. The interdisciplinary
course in multilingual interaction offered at the University of Jyväskylä aims
to enhance students’ competence in multilingual and multicultural academic
communication by promoting the use of their entire linguistic repertoire in various
learning situations. Throughout the course, we observed the students’ engagement
in multilingual and multicultural activities. These observations suggest that
simultaneous use of multiple languages in synchronous and asynchronous learning
environments has evident impact on the development of learners’ multilingual
and multicultural competences as well as increases their multicultural awareness.
Learners’ experiences, collected through learning journals and reflective feedback,
suggest that the use of multimodal interactive learning environments may support
multilingual and multicultural learning and enhance learner agency.
