Reviews

The book is informed by wide consideration of current knowledge in the dyslexia field, viewing dyslexia from an interdisciplinary perspective and considering language learning abilities to be on a continuum. Nijakowska presents a comprehensive overview of past and current thinking and research on dyslexia as it relates to the learning of a foreign language. With some novel approaches based on sound examination of recent findings, Nijakowska links research to practice to produce one of the most comprehensive books in the field.
