Developed countries such as Australia are facing an unprecedented increase in the level of linguistic and cultural diversity due to human mobility and as a result people are now increasingly being called on to interact across and between languages and cultures. This is relevant in the context of educational settings, where the experience of students and the broader educational community plays a significant role in developing learnersâ capabilities to navigate diversity and communicate interculturally. In the past decade the presence of students of Muslim faith has increased in many schools in Australia. While some studies have highlighted the negative experiences of Muslim students in Australian educational settings, little is known about how both Muslim and non-Muslim students and the educational community reflect on and manage their experiences of interaction.
