Abstract

This study explores the impact of dyslexia on the use of personal pronouns among bilingual secondary school children. Dyslexia, a learning disorder that affects reading and language processing, presents unique challenges for bilingual students as they navigate the complexities of multiple languages. Data for this research were gathered through a questionnaire administered to 40 bilingual students diagnosed with dyslexia. The results reveal significant patterns of pronoun misuse or confusion, highlighting the specific difficulties faced by dyslexic bilinguals. These findings provide valuable insights into the intersection of dyslexia and bilingualism, suggesting the need for targeted educational strategies that address the unique linguistic challenges of this population. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on how dyslexia affects language acquisition and usage in bilingual contexts, emphasizing the importance of specialized support in educational settings.
