Evidence-based learning tips for DYSLEXICS (Language learning)

Often we are told “learn this!” but normally nobody tells us how. With this video I wanted to give you an overview over the Evidence-based learning strategies that have worked for me as a dyslexic. Here are the Evidence-based study/learning tips that I would like you to know: - Focus on the higher levels of Blooms Taxonomy - Make your learning process as active as possible (Active learning, active recall) - Use Spaced repetition to get information into your longterm memory - Use apps with built-in Spaced repetition like the Anki app (AnkiApp) - Utilize audio files to enhance your learning especially of you are dyslexic - Be open about your dyslexia - Focus on topics that you are naturally interested in that way spaced repatition has a chance to occur naturally (Benefit from your intrinsic motivation) - Use active recall learning strategies: tell other people what you have learned (teach), APPLY the things you remembered and understood - Use Practice testing and use it as a tool to analyze the thing you still need to learn ⏰ Timetable: 00:00 - Intro 00:34 - Blooms Taxonomy 01:58 - Active learning 02:22 - Spaced repatition 03:13 - Implementation (Anki) 03:49 - Implementation (Dyslexia) 04:56 - Intrinsic Motivation 05:53 - Implementation (active recall, Practice testing...) 🙋🏼‍♂️ My name is Arije, and I am a dyslexic with an MA in Education Studies. I aim to share all my tips for learning, coping, teaching, and more on my channel. My aim is to help you understand what dyslexia is and how to work with those that have it. Because I believe that, as the most common hidden learning disability, dyslexia needs to be seen to be understood. COACHING & CONSULTATION Have a look at my website: ☕️ If you’d like to support me, feel free to do so one coffee at a time! via ✅ Even though English is not my native language, I wrote my entire MA thesis and worked at full professional capacity in the English language. Because of my premium Grammarly account, I felt confident enough to do that without worrying too much about my spelling. I think it is a must-have for dyslexics!
