Barrier-Free Instruction in Japan: Recommendations for Teachers at All Levels of Schooling (Life and Education in Japan, #8) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.

Autorenporträt

Alexandra Burke is a part-time Lecturer at Gifu Shotoku Gakuen University, Shiga University, and the University of Shiga Prefecture. Her research field is how people with neurodiversity encounter and can overcome barriers at all life stages. She was born into a multi-generational neurodiverse family and has chosen to be open about her educational journey to allow others to feel more comfortable exploring what is a "taboo" topic to many. Burke has worked extensively in the classroom setting supporting teachers and learners to change practice methods that will unlock the potential of this group. She has received multiple "Michele Steele Best of JALT Awards" for Chapter presentations and also Best Poster Awards at JALT international and Online Conferences. Her goal is that any person with neurodiversity will have access to a welcoming educational environment and the assistive technology they need to thrive in society.
