Mind Mapping from a Dyslexic Point of View. This week we got an inside look at how those with dyslexia can benefit from Mind Mapping, thanks to iMindMap user, David Matkin.
Read on for some first-hand experience of the power of visual thinking… My name is David Matkin and I am the dyslexia tutor at Portland College. I have worked with dyslexic people of all ages for the last 7 years. As well as working with dyslexic people, I am myself dyslexic. It may seem like the blind leading the blind, however it does give me an “inside view” of dyslexia.Planning Sometimes I can spend ages planning and not really getting anywhere. I use iMindMap to plan out my day, my week my month and it helps me visualise the things I’ve got to do. It’s much easier to see the jobs that I have coming up on my Mind Map than it is to see them in that pile of paper on my desk. I have a map of “down time” tasks and have links straight to the documents that I need for them.
Organisation One of the things that dyslexics find difficult is organisational skills. Cmc2008-p098.pdf. HOW TEACHERS CAN ACCOMMODATE THE DYSLEXIC STUDENT. *Do not give them open-ended questions that involve abstract or incomplete instructions.
*Do not base the student's marks on spelling, punctuation or grammatical errors. Errors in assignments should be corrected for them. Spelling, punctuation and grammar are very abstract concepts for them that the right brain does not easily process and cannot visualize them as concrete images. If these errors must be corrected before a student hands in an assignment then permit someone else to edit the mistakes in spelling, grammar and punctuation. Parents are often helpful in this.* Look for ideas, not clerical errors. An illustration would be to ask them to point to the "back of a chair". Accessing the ELTJ.

Main9. The English Teacher Vol XXII October 1993 The Acquisition of Language According to Krashen PETER CULLIPMiri Educational Centre Some years ago, I tape-recorded one of my English language teacher colleagues in operation in the classroom.
As a normative speaker, she wanted to review the tape with me in order to gain some insight into how she could possibly improve her classroom language. On self-monitoring the tape, she was totally surprised and somewhat alarmed at the frequency and consistency with which she omitted the final 's' from simple present tense verbs agreeing with third person singular subjects. There are, in addition, a number of other puzzling phenomena which characterize the typical second language classroom or learner. Krashen (1982, 1985; Dulay et al., 1982) provides the answers - or so many of us believed. This paper attempts to briefly examine Krashen's major hypotheses and to reflect some of the major current concerns with these suppositions and their implications. Comments.
