There are more and more school and university students with special educational needs (SEN) so it is crucial to prepare school and academic teachers to properly work with them. It seems dyslexia and autism spectrum disorder are one of the most important developmental disorders as there are many students suffering from them and attending public schools and universities. Both groups of students have their typical behaviours in a classroom – if we are aware of them, we can better organise a foreign language teaching and learning process.

The speech will be devoted to SEN, dyslexia and autism spectrum from the perspective of a foreign language (academic) teacher. The definition of special educational needs will be given, as well as characteristics of dyslexic students and autistic students. Then the set of simple hints and suggestions of how to work with both groups will be given. The hints will be based on both literature review and author’s eye-tracking study results.
