Effect of Dyslexia on Foreign Language Learning
Dr. Judit Kormos, Reader in Second Language Acquisition at the Lancaster University (UK), explains how to help dyslexic students that have "learning differences" when it comes to acquiring a foreign language - English. A small obstacle can seem like a big hurdle for these students, and teachers must show them how to jump over these hurdles and alter the racing track for them. In the end, the chances they will give up will be smaller and dyslexic language learners can reach the finish line alongside their other classmates.

What does this involve? Not only does it cover the basics, such as computers, the Internet, various devices like Interactive whiteboards, tablets, phones, and software as well. But most importantly, how it all relates to communication - because that is what we learn another language for.
