Teaching students experiencing difficulties in learning: Information for teachers of Languages

This brochure has been designed specifically to support teachers of Languages, providing advice on how to adjust teaching and learning activities to be inclusive of all students. Detailed strategies in the four macro skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) have been provided, as well as sample tasks to illustrate scaffolding.

- Activstudio (developing flipcharts for IWBs).
