Discovering and practising grammar in context and dyslexia-friendly activities
The workshop focuses on presenting interesting contextualized activities for practising selected grammatical phenomena. The activities are appropriate for upper secondary dyslexic as well as mainstream learners. The workshop participants will try to see the teaching materials through dyslexic learners’ perspective and they will have the opportunity to try the activities created and adapted for (not only) dyslexic learners themselves. The workshop will include discussion and recommendations for teachers.
