NT2 Cahier Dyslexie

Dyslexia in NT2 learners

As an NT2 teacher, you often encounter learners who read slowly and make mistakes in the process, or who make frequent and strange spelling errors when writing. This may have to do with the learning process of second language acquisition or with the specific group of learners who have sometimes had little education. But it could also mean that someone is dyslexic. What the underlying problem is is often difficult for a teacher to assess.

Diagnosing dyslexia

The problem is that dyslexia comes in many degrees and forms. Even in pupils in regular education, dyslexia is already not easy to diagnose, requiring professionals and separate tests.

Helping a dyslexic student

This cahier provides NT2 teachers with a lot of practical information about dyslexia. It also contains tips for teachers to help students who may be dyslexic with their reading and writing. The website accompanying this cahier contains useful tools, such as a checklist for reading and spelling problems, a questionnaire that can serve as a guideline when talking to a student and a format for an action plan.

And there is good news, because what is good for dyslexic learners is good for all second language learners.

Extra material

The book comes with a code to access the accompanying website. Here you will find, among other things, questionnaires, checklists and a step-by-step plan.
