Adaptive learning platforms, automated grading tools, and generative tutoring systems are inconsistent. Rather than transforming pedagogy, AI has frequently served as a marketing tool for profit-driven Ed-tech companies, diverting resources from proven, human-centered approaches. As the AI hype recedes, it’s time to reflect, recalibrate, and reclaim education from speculative technologies.

This seminar explores how English language teachers can effectively support students with dyslexia by moving beyond words and embracing multisensory teaching. Participants will gain insights into the unique challenges dyslexic learners face in the EFL classroom and discover practical, research-informed strategies that engage sight, sound, movement, and touch.

The session emphasizes that with the right tools and approaches, dyslexia is not a barrier but an opportunity to reimagine how we teach and how students learn.
