Abstract
Over the last couple years, migration between European countries and immigration to Europe from non-European countries has increased a lot. Due to this increment, the situation in language diversity and multilingualism in schools has also changed. Now, teachers face a lot of difficulties related with teaching in multilingual classes in Europe. The authors present the research on MOOC delivery for embracing language diversity in the classroom and results from surveys completed voluntary before and after MOOC courses. The research revealed the 97% of participants would recommend the course to a colleague or a friend.
