| Abstract: |
The lack of consensus over the origins of dyslexia, assessment practices and the impact on learners across languages has led to different approaches to support being adopted across Europe. This study uses a case study design and aims at gaining an understanding of learners with dyslexic tendencies' experiences and perceptions of Welsh and French support systems. The cross-cultural dimension of the study makes the analysis pivot around some cultural differences which provide new insights. |
