Description
This guide provides an accessible approach to teaching in multilingual classrooms using Linguistically Appropriate Practice (LAP). It is grounded in the latest research on multilingual learners and offers a realistic perspective on teaching in linguistically diverse schools.
The book explores the relationship between theory and practice, outlining the characteristics of the LAP teacher and classroom. It also addresses challenges faced by teachers using LAP, providing a step-by-step guide to implementing and enriching this approach. The author argues that successful multilingual teaching is an option for all teachers, benefiting every child in the classroom.
With its practical resources and support, this book is an invaluable resource for practising teachers and trainee teachers looking to transform their classrooms into inclusive environments where all children can participate, learn, and grow.
