update.

Subject: [DIS-FORUM] Dyslexia and Languages
Dear All
I have been asked to provide some guidance on adjustments for dyslexic
students taking foreign languages as part of their degree course. I
would appreciate any input on what your institution views as
"reasonable" in these cases. Presumably disregard of spelling, grammar
etc would compromise academic standards (if this is what is being
directly assessed).
Any examples of good practice in the support of such students, in
terms of both teaching and assessment, would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Regards
Liz
