Dyslexia and Foreign Language Learning

This practical guide tackles the significant challenge of teaching foreign languages to students with dyslexia, offering concrete strategies and alternative teaching approaches for busy educators. Schneider moves beyond theory to provide immediately usable techniques, from modifying traditional instruction to incorporating specialized software and teaching materials. The book directly addresses why language learning can be so difficult for dyslexic learners, breaking down phonological processing and memory challenges in accessible terms. It serves as a vital resource for modern language teachers seeking to create more inclusive classrooms.

What sets this work apart is its specific focus on the subject specialist who may lack training in special educational needs, providing them with the tools to adapt their existing curriculum. The inclusion of a substantial reference list for further resources and organizations adds tremendous practical value, allowing educators to continue their professional development. Language instructors, special education coordinators, and even parents supporting homeschooled students will find its structured guidance invaluable for building student confidence and competence. This book effectively bridges the gap between language pedagogy and dyslexia support, transforming a traditionally difficult subject into an accessible learning opportunity.
