Scott, Sally S.; Edwards, Wade
Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, v25 n3 p253-258 Fall 2012
Foreign language learning can pose a barrier to some students with disabilities. This practice brief describes a collaborative process used on one campus to provide professional development for foreign language instructors. Training opportunities were intentionally focused on the needs of adjunct and temporary lecturers in providing inclusive beginning and intermediate language courses. Trends in student final grades and foreign language requirement waivers are discussed. (Contains 3 tables.)
