Students with specific language impairment in English education : English and special education teachers' perceptions
2016
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää englannin opettajien ja erityisopettajien kokemuksia englannin opettamisesta oppilaille, joilla on kielellinen erityisvaikeus (aikaisemmin dysfasia, englanniksi specific language impairment). Tätä aihetta on tutkittu Suomessa hyvin vähän, mutta maailmanlaajuisesti aiheesta löytyy joitakin tutkimuksia (ks. esim. Malinen ym. 2013, Dockrell ja Lindsay 2001 & Brackenreed 2010). Kielellisestä erityisvaikeudesta on saatavilla runsaasti tutkimusta ja tietoa, mutta opettajien opetuskokemuksista sitä löytyy huomattavasti vähemmän. Aihe on kiinnostava, koska noin 7 prosenttia lapsista kärsii kielellisestä erityisvaikeudesta, mikä on enemmän kuin esimerkiksi ADHD:…
