New perspectives on inclusive language teaching | Judit Kormos

#MyELTOC
Dealing with learner diversity is a key classroom challenge for teachers. In this presentation, we will focus on cognitive variation among students and discuss the impact of individual differences on language learning. Join us as we showcase several inclusive language teaching methods that have been found effective in supporting the development of key language skills. The talk will conclude with suggestions on how further support can be offered to cognitively diverse language learners so that they also become successful in acquiring additional languages.
