Understanding dyslexia across languages
20 Jan 2025, 18:00 – 19:30
Dyslexia is a common life-long condition that manifests itself as inaccurate and influent word reading and spelling mostly due to a deficit in phonological processing.
Agnieszka will discuss the definition of the condition considering the psychological and pedagogical perspectives and studies on dyslexia from the multilingual perspective.
She will probe at the question: How does dyslexia manifest in additional language learning and use in light of the Linguistic Coding Deficit Hypothesis and Orthographic Depth Hypothesis? She will consider various orthographic systems (alphabetic and logographic) and the assessment for dyslexia in the bilingual setting.
This online event will be particularly useful for teachers, researchers and policymakers.
