Multilingualism as a resource in education aims at

The idea of multilingualism as a resource, drawn from India's National Curriculum Framework, treats the different languages that learners bring to a classroom as pedagogical assets rather than obstacles. Under this view, a teacher deliberately draws on learners' existing home languages to build understanding, connect new content to familiar linguistic and cultural knowledge, and let learners compare and move between languages while learning.

Applying this to the options offered, the aim described in the stem is met by whichever statement speaks of using the languages learners already bring to class as a tool for teaching-learning itself, which is exactly what 'making use of languages of learners for teaching-learning' states.

• Making learners learn as many languages as possible describes a target for how many languages a learner acquires, which is a different aim from using languages already known as a teaching-learning resource.

• Using classical languages for teaching-learning points to languages such as Sanskrit or Latin, which are generally not the home languages learners bring with them to the classroom.

• Enabling learners to learn English for jobs and the mother tongue for culture keeps the two languages in separate functional domains instead of drawing on a learner's languages together within classroom teaching-learning.

Multilingualism as a classroom resource is therefore about putting the languages learners already know to work in teaching-learning, which is what 'making use of languages of learners for teaching-learning' expresses.
