“…By using survey design, future researchers can provide compelling results for policy development and design of interventions to increase parent involvement in secondary transition and student self-determination. Last, there is a demand for learning disability researchers to examine self-determination interventions for students with dyslexia considering they are the largest subgroup of students with LD (Richardson, 2021). The majority of participants in this study had dyslexia, but in-depth inquiry on students with dyslexia was not focus of this study.…”

This qualitative study explored perspectives of college students with learning disabilities (LD) regarding their self-determination and parental influences on student self-determination during students’ transition from high school to postsecondary education. Data were collected from in-depth interviews with 12 college students with LD. Qualitative analyses were conducted to examine students’ participation in secondary transition, self-determination behaviors, and parental influences on students’ self-determination. The findings identified five important self-determination behaviors (i.e., postsecondary education goal setting and attainment, self-advocacy, being autonomous, self-awareness, and decision-making) students demonstrated in secondary transition. Four themes pertain to parental influences on student self-determination, including encouraging students to be advocates, fostering students’ academic competency, showing moral support and high expectations, and providing opportunities for students to make decisions. Recommendations for engaging parents to promote student self-determination are provided.

“…Furthermore, accommodations are required to support the strategies' implementation. The accomodations included the use of personal instructions, spatial arrangements, visual strategies and accommodations, kinesthetic strategies and accommodations, and technological tools (Gregory, 2021;Manilla & de Braga, 2017;Sudek & Encinas, 2019).…”

“…Besides the role of the government, the teachers also play a major role in the success of inclusive education since they are the ones who facilitate and promote learning to the students (Ackah-Jnr, 2020; Awada & Plana, 2018;Kauffman, 2021). Therefore, teachers are expected to have the knowledge, skills, and expertise to create inclusive learning environments that can assist dyslexic students through the use of effective and appropriate teaching strategies (Gregory, 2021;Knight, 2018). Several studies have been conducted to investigate the implementation of certain, appropriate strategies to teach EFL dyslexic students.…”

Dyslexia is a hereditary, neurodevelopmental learning disorder found to appear in around 10% of the population, characterized by difficulty in reading. Therefore, it needs to be addressed properly by implementing appropriate teaching strategies that can help dyslexic students to learn in the inclusive education setting. However, there is still limited study that provides literature related to the matter. Therefore, this study was a conceptual research aimed to analysing teaching strategies used to deal with the learning difficulties encountered by dyslexic students and provide descriptions related to the dyslexic students’ characteristics along with their learning difficulties. This study is a kind of literature review through library research.The result found that there are four teaching strategies that teachers can use to deal with dyslexic students’ learning difficulties, which are task analysis, explicit phonics instruction, multisensory instruction, and field-dependent approaches. The strategies are adjusted to the characteristics and learning difficulties faced by dyslexic students that include low phonological awareness, slow working memory, rapid naming difficulty, slow processing speed, and low skills automatic development. The strategies emphasise on providing clear, direct instruction with multiple aids and assistance from the teachers. The use of several accommodations are also needed in order to help the dyslexic students to develop their reading skill and deal with their learning difficulties.

“…Twenty years ago, dyslexia was less commonly recognized in university populations. Since then, there has been a substantial increase in the prevalence of dyslexia among university students (Richardson 2021). Multiple understandings of dyslexia have emerged, and the conceptualization of the condition is contested (Elliott 2020).…”

The Challenges Involved in Teaching Biblical Hebrew to Students With Dyslexia: Some Observations

Studying Biblical Hebrew is increasingly considered a viable option for students with dyslexia. This presents particular challenges not just for the students but also for their teachers, because the pedagogical methods for teaching ancient languages have traditionally depended on strategies that create difficulties for dyslexic students. This paper outlines the particular challenges of Biblical Hebrew for teachers of students with dyslexia and makes some proposals for addressing those challenges. Responding to dyslexia research, this paper considers the effects of phonological, morphological, and other deficits; outlines teaching and assessment strategies; and argues that learning Biblical Hebrew can be a transformative experience for students with specific learning difficulties.
