Develop and enhance your skills and understanding of dyslexia with our Award in Supporting International Learners

This Level 4 Award allows professionals to develop and enhance their current skills and understanding. Participants will question what currently takes place in their classroom and will learn new theories and strategies. They will learn from their fellow professionals, will share their classroom experiences and discuss issues via the course forums.  

Why study the Award in Supporting International Learners?

This Award consists of three Units:

1. Developing Reading Skills in Learners with Dyslexia will provide you with the knowledge to compare recent models of reading skills and understand their relevance to readers with dyslexia who are learning English or other alphabetic languages. You’ll examine the phonological, morphological and orthographic processes that underlie reading competence and learn how explicit, structured tuition can help build language awareness in learners with dyslexia. You will also consider the difficulties that readers with dyslexia can face when accessing print
2. Developing Writing Skills in Learners with Dyslexia will increase your understanding of the processes involved in developing writing skills and learn strategies for use in the classroom. Although the focus is on how to nurture the development of writing skills in learners with dyslexia, the approach will benefit a wide range of learners struggling to acquire effective writing skills
3. Dyslexia in Multilingual Settings will enable you to explore the challenges presented when supporting multilingual learners with dyslexia. You will consider the learner’s cultural context, together with the impact this has on learning and progress. You’ll examine the key components for supporting multilingual learners with a view to identifying appropriate support strategies for multilingual learners with dyslexia.
