Episode 92: ADHD and Dyslexia: Some Advice with Ania Karwowska

EVERYTHING EFL

What do you know about ADHD and Dyslexia? How can you identify it? How can you deal with neurodivergent students in your class?

This week I am joined by the fantastic Ania Karwowska of Polca Languages. She gives us some ideas on how to start supporting our neurodivergent students in an ESL setting. I can't promise to solve all your issues but I can promise that by the end of this episode, you will have a wealth of little tips and tricks to start implementing straightaway, as well as some other topicslike sequencing and structured word enquiry that you can dig a little deeper into.

Ania is a self-described Anna, vegan jogger, bicycle lover. ESL teacher, literacy researcher & an OG tutor.
