Learning English Is Tough—Now Imagine Doing It with Dyslexia

By Jeannette Washington

Working at an international school has given me a front-row seat to witness the remarkable evolution in how we support multilingual learners. What began as a few scattered English as an Additional Language (EAL) support groups has blossomed into a comprehensive department, reflecting the increasingly diverse linguistic landscape of international education.

As someone who has worn multiple professional hats—from Speech-Language Pathologist to Librarian, and now pursuing Special Needs Coordination—I’ve gained a unique perspective on how language, literacy, and learning intersect in these dynamic educational spaces. My journey through these varied roles has reinforced one core belief: communication is a fundamental right that transcends traditional boundaries.

In the library, I’ve championed audiobooks and text-to-speech technologies, watching students’ faces light up when they discover they can access complex stories despite reading challenges. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I’ve introduced augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) tools that have helped non-verbal multilingual students share their thoughts in multiple languages.

These experiences have shown me that when we expand our definition of “successful communication,” we open doors for all learners to flourish.
