Specific Learning Difficulties and English Language Teaching
Foreign language learning can be a challenge for students with learning difficulties. Mastering English, in particular, is described as even more demanding because of the intricacies of the English Language. This presentation will not only help teachers understand the difficulties these students face when learning English but also suggest appropriate teaching methods and techniques to make language learning an effective and rewarding experience for all students.
