Abstract

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability which influences the ability to learn the language. Dyslexic individuals have difficulties in some aspects of the language such as reading, writing, vocabulary, grammar, and spelling. Hence, this chapter is an attempt to find out the challenges that learners with dyslexia encounter in vocabulary and grammar skills in learning a foreign language. In this study, the qualitative research paradigm was undertaken where an instrumental case study was administered on eight dyslexic children at the middle school on the west coast of the country. The present study was carried out utilizing a dyslexia checklist involving vocabulary and grammar items. Small group instruction with the learners was conducted and a dyslexia checklist was used on a weekly basis to measure the learners' improvement in vocabulary and grammar skills. Findings revealed that learners exhibited high performance in grammar and vocabulary.
