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.

Gavin Reid, Education Director Lighthouse School, Cairo, Egypt
This is a thought-provoking book that will hopefully stimulate further research. It is, thus, highly recommended for foreign language teachers and anybody interested in literacy issues, test designers and program administrators.
James Rock, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Italy
The book is accessible to all types of language teachers, from the most experienced to the novice, and explores a wide range of themes. It is organised into short evenlength chapters and readers are not overloaded with technical linguistic jargon, even when cognitive processes are being described.
