5. Language Teaching for Students with Learning Differences
Ethical language
teaching acknowledges that: ·
Some students process language differently (e.g.,
dyslexia, ADHD, or hearing impairments). ·
Language learning materials should be multimodal
and culturally sensitive. ·
Group activities should be structured to ensure all
voices are heard, not dominated. Strategies
Include: ·
Using visual aids and gestures for
explanation. ·
Encouraging peer collaboration with
supportive roles. ·
Integrating assistive technologies (e.g.,
screen readers, speech-to-text tools).
