Dear Colleagues,
IATEFL Poland and Vicky Kaperoni
have the pleasure to invite you to the webinar:
“Beyond Words: Multisensory Approaches to Dyslexia in EFL”
which will take place on Wednesday, 22nd of October 2025, from 20.30 to 21.30 CET.
Summary:
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. Through hands-on examples and classroom activities, teachers will learn how to adapt lessons, build phonological awareness, and create inclusive environments where all learners can thrive. 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.
During the webinar all participants will be provided with a certificate of participation, which they will be able to download.
IATEFL Poland members have priority of registration for this webinar.
Do not delay. The number of participants is limited.
