| Body | Title: Using color and shape coding to teach sentence structure in Chinese Author: Xiaohong Yang Overview: How can a foreign language teacher help students with learning disabilities learn the language successfully? According to some research, using multisensory instruction may be an important tool for reaching these to at-risk foreign language students. Because learning disabilities are often due to certain kinds of processing deficiencies, it is often necessary to use multisensory instruction when working with students with learning disabilities (LD), so that they can learn through other cognitive pathways than those of conventional instruction which they cannot access effectively. The purpose of this study is to apply such principles to activities for helping LD students learn grammatical features, such as sentence structure in Mandarin Chinese, and to provide a detailed example of one such activity.
