There are many examples of good practices in literacy which have not fully impacted upon the ways in which we teach children with dyslexia. Dyslexia and Literacy: An Introduction to Theory and Practice provides the reader with an understanding of the most recent theoretical positions in dyslexia and literacy and how these may be applied in practice. The book critically considers the current notions of literacy, provides an understanding of literacy concepts and re-appraises what we mean by literacy. The implications of this for dyslexic children are immense as it means that assessment and support can be more embedded in the curriculum context. The role of professionals such as learning support co-ordinators and educational psychologists are discussed within current legislative and theoretical frameworks. Classroom intervention and approaches to dealing with the diverse needs presented by dyslexic children are addressed by examining individual education plans and the development of differentiated curricula in schools.
Professor Spolsky explores the requirements for a general theory of second language learning, and considers the relevance of such a theory for language teaching.
The theory of formal languages is widely accepted as the backbone of theoretical computer science. It mainly originated from mathematics (combinatorics, algebra, mathematical logic) and generative linguistics. All human problem solving capabilities can be considered in a certain sense as a manipulation of symbols and structures composed by symbols, which is actually the stem of formal language theory. Language – in its two basic forms, natural and artificial – is a particular case of a symbol system.

In Teaching Composition As A Social Process, educator and scholar Bruce McComiskey advocates a social approach to teaching writing while opposing composition instruction that relies on cultural theory for content. This last is because relying on cultural theory for content often prejudges the ethical character of institutions and reverts unnecessarily to product-centered practices in the classroom.
