Identifies school language speakers as the missing piece in multilingual teaching.
This book lays out a radical new all-in approach to teaching in linguistically diverse classrooms: that everyone, including those who already speak the school language, is included in multilingual pedagogy. The author argues that school language speakers are the missing piece in multilingual teaching and provides a new resource, Linguistically Appropriate Practice Plus (LAP+) to help teachers engage these learners in meaningful language tasks and support their language skills and interests. With all learners on board, multilingual teaching becomes pedagogy that is fully inclusive and linguistically fair.
Roma Chumak-Horbatsch has recently retired from Toronto Metropolitan University, Canada, where her teaching and research focused on language learning, bilingualism and multilingual pedagogy. She continues to work with teachers to support multilingual teaching that is open to all learners. She is the author of Using Linguistically Appropriate Practice: A Guide for Teaching in Multilingual Classrooms (2019, Multilingual Matters).
