Who are literacy students, and what are they doing at schMOOze University?
Literacy students often have characteristics different from other language learners, yet many love MOOing and find it highly motivating. Low literacy skills don’t necessarily mean low technical skills or low intelligence. Many people with dyslexia or other specific learning disabilities are very keen to do further studies. In this NETEACH session, you can get some useful information about literacy teaching and learning, and have a chance to talk about great ways to work with people for whom reading and writing doesn’t come so easily.
