2026 Series on Accessibility and Inclusion for Language Teaching and Learning

2026 Series

In 2026, we were invited to help the International Association of Language Learning Technology (IALLT) plan its annual professional development series dedicated to disability and second language instruction. So as not to duplicate efforts, we will amplify IALLT’s series this year, holding watch parties for the live-streamed webinars that IALLT produces.
 
CeLTA’s Assistant Director, Dr. Caitlin Cornell, will open the series with the first webinar in December 15, 2025.

Dyslexia in the L2 Classroom: Insights and Strategies from Literacy Intervention

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 | 4:00–5:00 pm ET / 3:00 pm CT / 2:00 pm MT / 1:00 pm PT

Presenters: Erin Fell & Judy Hur

In this webinar, language teacher Erin Fell and reading interventionist Judy Hur come together to explore how to better support students with dyslexia in the second-language (L2) classroom. Drawing on classroom practice and literacy intervention research, the presenters will share concrete strategies and examples that address core areas where dyslexic learners often benefit from additional support. Topics include phonological awareness, spelling patterns, and reading comprehension, with practical takeaways for instructors teaching languages at a variety of levels.
