Dyslexia in the foreign language classroom : an inclusive approach to teaching writing : magistrsko delo
Ciccone, Ilaria, 1990-
The thesis consists of a theoretical and a practical part. The first discusses dyslexia as a learning difficulty, focusing primarily on its impact on writing skills and on foreign language learning. ...This is followed by an overview of suggested approaches to an inclusive teaching of writing, which aims at reaching the whole classroom while always being aware of the needs of students with learning difficulties, especially dyslexic students. The suggested approaches all derive from a process approach to writing. Writing is understood as a skill that can be acquired through consistent practice and by following some essential steps. From this premise derive a genre approach to writing, a workshop approach to writing, and a scaffolding approach to writing, which stress different aspects of the writing process. Alternative media such as graphic novels and blogs are also presented as an additional source of motivation and a way to acknowledge multimodal literacies and practice multiliteracy skills. The practical part therefore suggests a possible rendition of a process approach to writing in English as a foreign language, exploiting material from the textbook and workbook Itchy Feet 2 for students in the 8th grade, and using blogs as the media. The aim is to create an inclusive lesson plan for teaching writing.
