Developing Dyslexic Students' Vocabulary Skills by Applying Multi-Sensory Techniques

Abstract

The current study has aimed to investigate and find out the possible ways of developing dyslexic learners’ vocabulary. As it can be seen from the literature review, there are a lot of things that dyslexic people have to cope with when they are attempting to learn a foreign language. However, the reason that they are dyslexic cannot be an excuse for them, because nowadays’ modern society has the same expectations towards them, regardless the fact that they have learning difficulties. They are expected to be as successful in social, cultural, educational and professional life as their non-dyslexic mates. Yet, they are not given enough help to overcome these difficulties and perform better. If the appropriate methods and techniques were applied, they would be successful language learners of our modern society.
