Life and Education in Japan
|
This book gives a general background on inclusive education internationally and in Japan and provides case studies of successful accommodations for language learners with disabilities in English language education. While English language learners with disabilities, especially those with specific learning difficulties (SpLDs) such as Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), may encounter barriers to their learning, few English language teachers (ELTs) are capable and confident in their ability to provide barrier-free learning environments.
The book is essential reading for language teachers at all levels of education in Japan and parents of language learners with disabilities. In addition, it is an excellent resource for language teachers based in other countries who are interested in providing inclusive and supportive language education.
