Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism: Encouraging and Supporting All L2 Learners

webinar by Sara Lee
Up to 20% of people in the U.S. have dyslexia, which means that about 4-6 students in every classroom struggle with reading and writing, spelling, and executive functions. How does this manifest in second language acquisition? This workshop will introduce dyslexia from a medical and educational perspective and explain how it presents in second language learning.

In the second part of the workshop, we will focus on classroom methodology to support learners with ...

Linguistic Production and Perception in Heritage Language

webinar by Gláucia Silva
Heritage language (HL) speakers tend to assess their linguistic competence in binary terms, such as “good” and “bad,” and to consider that they speak “slang” or a “broken” language (Byram et al., 2021). However, research on HL production does not confirm these perceptions: Rinke et al. (2024) show that structures that prove most challenging for HL bilinguals are also problematic for monolingual speakers. Furthermore, Torregrossa et al. (2023) indicate that age and formal instruction in the HL may lead to better performance in those challenging structures. Drawing on examples from Portuguese grammar, this talk discusses research on linguistic production in ...

Doing It (Gender) Justice: Reimagining Language Education Through Trans Knowledges

webinar by Kris Aric Knisely
As people who teach, learn, and research language, the time for us to work toward forms of gender justice that honor and revel in the knowledges and linguistic practices of trans people has long since been here and it grows ever-more overdue in the ongoing wake of globalized and localized forms of anti-trans, anti-education, and other oppressive actions (Knisely, 2023; Knisely & Russell, 2024). If we are to move toward gender justice in language education, we need not only increasingly inclusionary pedagogies, materials, research, and languaging, but also to think beyond the confines of inclusionary discourses alone. When we unscript ...
