Abstract
Teaching students with learning difficulties can be very challenging. As nowadays learning difficulties are not so uncommon, it is important for teachers to be fully equipped with both theoretical and practical knowledge. Dyslexia is one of the most common specific learning difficulties which includes not only reading and writing difficulties, but also difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory, and verbal processing speed. Due to the nature of these problems, foreign language learning can be especially challenging for students with dyslexia. This study was conducted to explore whether Croatian pre- and in-service teachers of English as a foreign language are competent enough to teach students with dyslexia and what attitudes they have about dyslexia and about teaching approaches and adjustments. In total 113 participants took part in this research. The participants were graduate students of English language and literature from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Osijek and primary school EFL teachers from all over Croatia. The results showed that pre- and in-service teachers have moderately good knowledge about dyslexia and that they have quite positive attitudes towards dyslexia and teaching approaches and adaptations. Still, the results also indicated insufficient training and quite low self-esteem in terms of teaching students with dyslexia after graduating from university. Consequently, a large number of participants want to further improve their competences when it comes to dyslexia as a specific learning difficulty.
Abstract (croatian)
Poučavanje učenika s poteškoćama u učenju može biti prilično izazovno. S obzirom na to da u današnje vrijeme poteškoće u učenju i nisu toliko rijetke, važno je da nastavnici steknu što bolje kompetencije za rad s učenicima s poteškoćama u učenju. Disleksija je jedna od najčešćih poteškoća u učenju koja uključuje ne samo poteškoće u čitanju i pisanju nego i probleme u područjima fonologije, verbalnog pamćenja i brzine u verbalnoj obradi. S obzirom na prirodu ovih teškoća i činjenicu da se strani jezik dosta razlikuje od materinskoga, za pretpostaviti je da učenicima s disleksijom učenje stranih jezika može predstavljati veliki izazov. Ovo istraživanje provedeno je kako bi se istražilo posjeduju li budući i trenutni nastavnici engleskog kao stranog jezika u Hrvatskoj dovoljno dobre kompetencije za podučavanje učenika s disleksijom. Također, istraživalo se i kakve stavove sudionici imaju prema disleksiji i određenim pristupima poučavanju i prilagodbama u nastavi. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 113 ispitanika. U istraživanju su sudjelovali studenti diplomskog studija engleskog jezika i književnosti sa Filozofskog fakulteta u Osijeku i nastavnici engleskog kao stranog jezika koji su zaposleni u osnovnim školama diljem Hrvatske. Rezultati su pokazali da budući i sadašnji nastavnici raspolažu prosječnim znanjem činjenica o disleksiji te da imaju pozitivne stavove prema disleksiji, različitim pristupima u poučavanju kao i prilagodbama. Međutim, rezultati su također ukazali na još uvijek nedovoljno kvalitetnu stručnu izobrazbu te na izrazito loše samopouzdanje sudionika kada se radi o samoprocjeni kompetencija ili osjećaju spremnosti za podučavanje učenika s disleksijom nakon završetka fakulteta. Kao rezultat navedenoga, veliki broj sudionika želi dodatno unaprijediti svoje kompetencije u području disleksije kao specifične teškoće u učenju.
