The longitudinal intervention study reported here is the first to investigate the efficiency of computer learning software specifically designed for dyslexic Swiss German learners of Standard German as a second language (L2) and English as a third language (L3). A total of 40 subjects (20 of them dyslexics and 20 of them nondyslexics; 10 students from each group participated in in- terventions and the other 10 from each group served as control groups) were assessed with a battery of verbal and written pre- and posttests involving pho- nological/orthographic and semantic measures of their L2 and L3 before and after three months of daily intervention with the software. The results show that computer-based training in the L3 is potentially an important tool of intervention for dyslexic students as it has a positive effect on the components of L3 as well as L2 learning. As a consequence of their progress in acquiring the relationships between L3 graphemes and phonemes, the experimental groups, but not the control groups, made significant gains on L2 naming accuracy and speed, L2 and L3 word reading, L2 and L3 phonological awareness, and L2 and L3 receptive and productive vocabulary and comprehension tasks.

This paper investigates the effect of extensive reading on first year Algerian university students’ writing performance. An experiment was designed with two groups. The experimental group had to read 12 stories over three months. The control group received no treatment. Both groups were pre-tested and post-tested, and the subjects’ writing compositions were marked using the TEEP Attribute Writing Scale. The results suggest a positive effect of the Extensive Reading Programme, as the experimental group outscored the control one on the narrative paragraph writing test. The integration of extensive reading into the first year writing syllabus was proposed.

A smartphone in the German classroom A smartphone, being a personal student’s device with great educational potential, can be used and is used in a classroom. Do German teachers use smartphones? How do they do it? What are the benefits resulting from it? Does it have any influence on the role of a learner and a teacher? The following article is an attempt to find the answer to the above and other questions about the role of modern technologies in the German classroom. It is based on own research conducted among a group of German teachers. The essential context for the study and the reflections are teachers’ digital competencies and the status of a smartphone at school.

The nature of adults and their peculiar learning difficulties make helping adults to learn to read a delicate task. Developing a method for helping adults to read, becomes also necessary. This report, introduces a method for helping adults learn through musical 8 tonic sol-fa sound tones. Indicative of high potential for leading adults to learn reading faster, the teaching method was mindful of learners’ low esteems and experiential connections to adult’s daily living. A step by step module and action–response-outcome (input output) analysis was carried out with successful outcome. This method was tried on 11 adults who not only demonstrated reading skills within few weeks, shown great enthusiasm in learning more literacy skills. The innovation applied adult teaching principles and the phonics words analysis approach. Although first tested on adults the method has high potential to help children learn reading skills even faster.

Natura ludzi dorosłych i ich szczególne trudności w nauce powodują, że pomoc dorosłym w nauce czytania jest delikatnym zadaniem. Dlatego koniecznością staje się praca nad metodą ułatwiającą dorosłym to zadanie. Niniejszy artykuł prezentuje metodę umożliwiającą uczenie się dorosłych czytania poprzez ośmiotonową metodę dźwięków. Metoda ta ma duży potencjał w przyśpieszeniu procesu uczenia się czytania wśród dorosłych i bierze pod uwagę fakt, iż czytanie nie jest powiązane z codziennym życiem uczących się oraz że dodatkową przeszkodą w nauce może być ich niskie poczucie własnej wartości. Analiza prowadzona na poszczególnych etapach wykazała jej skuteczność. Metoda została zastosowana wobec jedenastu osób, które w ciągu kilku tygodni osiągnęły umiejętność czytania oraz wykazały duże zainteresowanie dalszą nauką. Mimo że metoda była testowana na dorosłych, wykazuje duży potencjał w nauczaniu czytania dzieci.
