Deliverable T2.1
This Literature review report, produced as part of the SPLENDID project (Supporting foreign Language lEarNing for Students with Disabilities), provides an extensive review of literature, best practices, digital tools, and teaching materials for supporting students with various disabilities in language learning.
The report examines four key areas of disability: physical and motor impairments, dyslexia, visual impairments, and hearing impairments. Each chapter explores the unique challenges faced by students with these disabilities in language learning contexts, while offering evidence-based teaching strategies, technological solutions, and practical recommendations for creating inclusive language learning environments.
The report aligns with both the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles, making it a valuable resource for educators, researchers, and practitioners working to enhance foreign language education for students with disabilities.
Deliverable T2.3
This collection presents 23 innovative good practices for teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) to students with diverse learning needs, particularly those with visual impairments, hearing impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. Created through the SPLENDID (Supporting Foreign Language Learning for Students with Diverse Needs) project, each practice includes detailed lesson plans, methodological guidelines, and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) checkpoints to ensure inclusive education.
From multisensory storytelling and interactive vocabulary games to technology-enhanced learning activities, these practices are designed to support both teachers and students in creating an engaging and accessible learning environment.
The report, funded by the European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme, represents a collaborative effort led by the University of Macedonia (Greece), together with the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (Greece), University of Heidelberg (Germany), Catholic University of Lublin (Poland), and University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) to promote inclusive foreign language education.
