Providing an adapted language input in a multicultural classroom is often challenging to educators. Teachers are frequently the parents’ first contacts for language counselling and educational support, and therefore, they may influence the language exposure not only in the classroom but at home as well. This study aims to investigate the cognitive, emotional and behavioural attitudes and needs related to multilingualism of teachers in Flanders to formulate hands-on logopaedic advice on language input in a multilingual school environment.
