DYSLEXIA AND LEARNING DIFFICULTIES IN ELT. SIGNS, STRATEGIES, SOLUTIONS

The three-hour workshop will focus on three main spheres:

– What is dyslexia and LD and signs which can make an EL teacher suspicious. “Realia” examples will be used and participants will work on them in groups and will have the chance to refer to personal experiences and examples, which will be analysed

– strategies to be followed in order to have a correct evaluation of the student and practices which will lead to effective assistance

– solutions and intervention exercises which will strengthen students’ “weaker” skills and build up their self-confidence
