Abstract

I will share my research findings that show how learners’ attention to input changes depending on the type of input that they receive: e.g., input with maximum teacher support and minimum teacher support. I will also highlight how learners’ working memory influences their attention and, as teachers, what we can do to help dyslexic learners who have low-working memory.
