Abstract
This research aims to uncover the critical nuances that shape global learning experiences by delving into multifaceted dynamics of linguistics in education. This investigation includes the analysis of language barriers, preservation efforts, policy challenges and organizational obstacles, illuminating the complex relationship between language and education. A fundamental question guiding this inquiry is how linguistics fundamentally shapes educational landscapes, focusing on understanding the diverse ways language impacts different aspects of education. Using a thorough approach with articles, surveys, and case studies, this research gathers insights from different sources. It delves into the perspectives of final-year medical students, recognizes the role of public libraries as custodians of language, analyzes language education policies, and investigates organizational barriers faced by international students. Exploring the role of linguistics in education reveals valuable information about the difficulties faced by students in countries where English is not the first language, emphasizing the importance of recognizing linguistic diversity (Tayem, 2020). The study highlights the challenges involved in implementing effective language education policies, the barriers faced by international students, and the significant contribution of public libraries in safeguarding our linguistic heritage against the threat of language extinction (Cooper, 2008). Based on these findings, it becomes clear that educational landscapes will be impacted in profound ways. Policymakers must navigate language policies with sensitivity to economic, cultural, and religious factors, while also highlighting the significance of acknowledging linguistic diversity and providing support to public libraries in the preservation of linguistic heritage (Spolsky, 2017). Additionally, educational institutions must reassess their language policies to ensure the inclusion of international students (Hiratsuka, 2016). In essence, this study explores how language complexity influences various learning settings, revealing intricate layers of insight that resonate across diverse educational environments.
