Abstract
<p>In the current era, we find ourselves amidst a landscape characterised by pluralism, where diverse perspectives, values, and ideologies coexist. This multifaceted reality extends across various domains, including culture, politics, and education. Embracing this pluralistic environment requires a nuanced understanding of different viewpoints and an openness to engage with a wide range of ideas that contribute to the complexity of our contemporary world. As we navigate this era of pluralism, the importance of fostering dialogue, tolerance, and mutual respect becomes increasingly evident, allowing for a more inclusive and harmonious coexistence. Despite this, one cannot ignore the inherent challenges associated with wrestling with monolithic ideas. The prevalence of deeply ingrained, monolingual-centric ideologies and assumptions (Cross, C’warte & Slaughter, 2022; Veliz et al., 2023) in various spheres pose a formidable obstacle to embracing diversity and fostering pluralistic environments</p>
