 Methods To achieve the purpose of the study, literature analysis and unit design research were conducted. Through literature analysis, the study analyzed the role of language in learning equity, in-depth learning, backward design, and learning and class in multicultural instruction classroom, and revealed the foundation of class application. After that, science and unit were developed through unit design research.
 Results For the class reflecting culture, language and diversity in the multicultural classroom, the responsive instructional studies that understand the characteristics of multicultural students and emphasize specific practice were significant. Therefore, as a way to promote the learning and language development of the subject on the basis of the application of this class, the unit of ‘properties of matter’ in the third grade science class of elementary school was developed by applying the linguistic lens to the backward design.
