This book is intended to help language teachers to work effectively and successfully with students who have specific learning differences (SpLD) such as dyslexia. The book takes an inclusive and practical approach to language teaching and encourages teachers to consider the effects that an SpLD could have on a language learner. It suggests strategies that can be implemented to enable learners to succeed both in the classroom and in formal assessment. The book places issues of language teaching for learners with an SpLD in a broad educational context and, in addition to practical advice on methodologies and classroom management, also discusses discourses of the field, the identification of SpLDs and facilitating progression.

This book indicates my life experience with dyslexia as a student and how it has affected my education and social life. It also identifies that schools/colleges need not to neglect someone who has symptoms of a potential special educational need or learning difficulty and investigate it as soon as symptoms are noticed. The reason to why these need to be investigated is also highlighted in the book and how the diagnosis turned my life around. Employers also need to work around the needs of an employee who has any form of difficulty of performing high standards of work and providing necessary equipment, which is illustrated in the book. This book shows how to do it.
