Assisting Language Learners of Dysgraphia: A Handbook for Teacher Candidates

Abstract

When training both native speakers and non-native speakers of the target language, language instructors face the challenges of motivating pupils who struggle with writing and enhancing their writing abilities. In fact, almost every educator in the globe has encountered a pupil with dysgraphia while teaching a language. During this qualitative research study, ten language teachers at a private institution were asked to respond to an open-ended question, “What remedies are available for students with dysgraphia?” In this qualitative study, instructor responses to what can be done for students who struggle with writing are transcribed to assist teacher candidates in beginning their careers.
