Review Quotes




A fantastic resource [...] It is powerful. I think it's a must-own, must-read for any school principal, any administrator, any teacher anywhere in the world where you have even one newcomer child.

I am left convinced that this book and the LAP approach are key to the wellbeing, healthy self-concept, happiness, sense of identity, and optimal development of newcomer children (emergent bilinguals) across Canada, the United States, and the globe.



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.



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.



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.
