The publication of Roma Chumak-Horbatsch's ground-breaking book Linguistically Appropriate Practice (LAP) in 2012 inspired teachers around the world to explore what inclusive multilingual instructional practice might look like in their unique contexts. This book lucidly synthesizes these instructional initiatives, using the dialogue between research and practice to extend our theoretical understanding of LAP and simultaneously establish the crucial role that teachers play in generating knowledge. -- Jim Cummins, University of Toronto, Canada This excellent `how to' book by Roma Chumak-Horbatsch is a rich and comprehensive resource for teachers. She takes the theory behind multilingualism and demonstrates effectively through both her own passionate narrative and those of expert teachers from across the globe, how to weave linguistically appropriate principles into daily classroom practice. A must-read for anyone working with multilingual children. * Eithne Gallagher, Author and Educational Consultant * LAP pedagogy, where all children have equal opportunity to participate and learn, looks for strengths, skills and abilities in every child. Similarly, Roma Chumak-Horbatsch combines strengths, good practices and creative ideas for multilingual pedagogies from various contexts and many different countries in a way that is easily understood and that brings the value of all children to the center of the pedagogy. * Jenni Alisaari, University of Turku, Finland *
