Dyslexia and Additional Academic Language Learning
Dyslexia and Additional Academic Language Learning
Start date: Jan 1, 2012,
The aim of this project is to develop a guide and e-learning course for teachers and parents to support the multilingual dyslexic individual in learning an additional curriculum language. That is, for example, in the UK a child may have Welsh as their first language, use English in the classroom, but also have to learn French. In terms of the Call for Proposals, it addresses: - Awareness raising activities, e.g.: promotion of languages; information about language learning opportunities; improvement of access to language learning facilities. The main target group is people with little or no experience of language learning, or who are reluctant language learners. Projects that address this area, either wholly or partly, must therefore give people the information, the motivation and the support they need to go and learn a language. Projects should also include partners who are capable of reaching a broad and often reluctant target audience and convincing them of the benefits of language learning. - Development and dissemination of language learning materials, e.g.: creating, adapting, refining or exchanging one or more of the following products: educational media/materials for foreign language teaching; methods and tools designed to recognize/evaluate language skills; curricula and language learning methodologies. This new project aims to: Develop an accredited online learning environment in not only partner languages, but also some of the languages of the learners that may be outside the language of the partnership. That is, the language of the partnership is English, there are six main classroom languages in the partnership (EN, BG, IT, HU, RO, TR, Welsh).
