Teaching in a culturally and ethnically diverse classroom can be an experience worth sharing because both students and teachers bring their own background into the classroom and that affects the process of teaching and learning. The presented study was carried out with students from the first and second year attending the South East European University in Macedonia during the fall term of the 2014/15 academic year. This is a culturally and ethnically diverse institution, which makes English language classroom a challenging place to teach and learn in. The students were given a set of questionnaires and the collected data were analyzed according to students’ level of English. An interesting finding suggested that students from higher level of English not only knew the English language better, but were more aware of the different cultural characteristics within Macedonia and were willing to learn more.
