IILT 2006. — 248 pages.Accordingly the publication of Up and Away is not only the culmination of a three-year process of consolidation; it also marks the beginning of a new phase in llLT's work with language support teachers in primary schools. The book will serve as the basis for induction seminars for newly appointed language support teachers. In time our ongoing interaction with teachers will no doubt generate new ideas and new perspectives that will necessitate a revised edition. Meanwhile, we gratefully acknowledge the enthusiasm, commitment and expertise of the hundreds of language support teachers we have met over the past six years. Without their stimulus, input and critical feedback it would have been impossible to produce Up and Away in anything like its present form. In 2006 the in-service programme on which it is largely based received the European Award for Languages. The award was earned as much by the language support teachers we have worked with as by ourselves.
