Language plays a pivotal role in the educational and psychological development of students. However, linguistic barriers—stemming from differences between a student’s native language and the language of instruction—can severely hinder academic performance, social integration, and emotional growth. This paper explores how these barriers affect students’ overall development, particularly in multilingual and multicultural contexts. It further suggests pedagogical and policylevel interventions to create more linguistically inclusive education
systems.
