Learning disabilities and foreign language learning
Personal Statement
I am quite interested in Foreign Language Learning, especially when there are learning disabilities that interfere. In fact, I have been teaching in the Modified Foreign Language Program since its inception in 2004. This program is designed for students who have difficulty learning foreign language, some of whom have had diagnosed learning disabilities in the past. I have had training to work with people who have difficulty learning foreign languages and may in the future pursue more education in this area.
