The closing conference of the ERASMUS+ project “ENGaGE: Digital English and German task bank for 4th-8th class dyslexic learners” took place on the 17th January, 2020, at the University of Miskolc, Hungary.
The conference aimed to raise awareness of the educational needs of dyslexic learners in foreign language learning, and introduce the resources produced in the framework of the project to facilitate individualised instruction in mixed-ability classes. The principal undertaking of the project, the ENGaGE Task Bank offers a flexible, thematically organised English and German digital task bank for primary school learners with dyslexia and the inclusive classes they are educated in. The Teacher Training Programme accompanying the Task Bank provides information about dyslexia and foreign language learning, the benefits of digital technology, the possibilities of differentiation and inclusion, as well as project pedagogy.
The conference included a series of inspiring talks as well as motivating workshops and discussions on the possibilities of teaching foreign languages to learners with dyslexia.
The programme is available here, and enjoy the video-recorded talks of the leading experts of the project shared below.
