DysTEFL aims to support English language teachers when working with dyslexic learners. In my experience, language teachers often feel underprepared in this area, as most in-service and pre-service teacher training programmes do not cover the strategies and techniques that dyslexic learners particularly need in order to succeed.

Over the past two years, academics and teachers from 6 EU countries have been working together to research, develop and pilot training materials, for pre-service and in-service language teachers. The result is 10 units of material designed for both face-to-face training and for teachers wishing to access it independently via on-line self-study. In both modes, detailed instructions about the aims of the units, the time frames, and procedures of the different units are offered, in order to guide the trainers/participants. The materials are extremely flexible and can also be tailored to individual needs.
