The book provides profiles of LAP in action around the world; explains the relationship between theory and multilingual practice; lays out the characteristics of the LAP teacher and the LAP classroom; discusses challenges that have been identified by teachers using LAP in their classrooms; provides a step-by-step guide to implementing and enriching LAP; and includes resources to support multilingual teaching and learning.
