Abstract

This study explores the challenges and innovations in teaching English within a multilingual environment at STIT Al Ittihadiyah Labuhanbatu Utara. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the research involved English lecturers and students as participants, using interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis as data collection techniques. The findings reveal several key challenges, including linguistic interference from students’ native languages, varying levels of English proficiency, and cultural perceptions that hinder motivation. In response, educators implemented innovative strategies such as translanguaging, culturally responsive teaching, and digital technology integration. These approaches significantly enhanced student engagement, language confidence, and overall classroom dynamics. The study concludes that embracing multilingualism through context-sensitive pedagogy is crucial for effective English instruction. Recommendations are offered for continued innovation, culturally relevant curriculum design, and further research to support language education in diverse linguistic settings
