Equipping Students for Optimal Language Learning
A concern of many instructors today involves teaching students with learning disabilities. While many of our students may experience learning challenges, they all have distinct learning abilities to build upon. Because specific difficulties and differences may not be identified until well into the term, instructors must strive to make learning accessible for all from day 1, relying on best practices and continual interaction with students. In this session, our facilitator will provide a brief overview of the research on learning differences and how they impact foreign language teaching and learning and will then share detailed recommendations and sample activities that demonstrate how to maximize the learning opportunities for all students.
