School-based Speech-language Support For Foreign Language Learning Difficulties

Authors : Boudjemai Djouhra .

Abstract

This study develops a school-based speech-language pathology model for pronunciation and reading difficulties linked to foreign language learning among primary school pupils. Using a descriptive analytical approach, it synthesizes Arab and international studies on speech sound disorders, phonological awareness, reading, and school support. The paper shows that these difficulties arise from interacting phonetic, phonological, cognitive, pedagogical, emotional, and family factors. It proposes a protocol for early screening, multidimensional assessment, functional diagnosis, intervention, generalization, and follow-up. The model integrates auditory discrimination, speech sound training, phonological awareness, oral reading, spelling, teacher guidance, and family support in inclusive classroom contexts effectively and successfully.
