Abstract

This study aimed to implementing a multisensory approach in teaching reading for dyslexic EYL and determine the teacher’s perception on learning to read English using a multisensory approach towards EYL with dyslexia. Participants in this study were English teachers at one of inclusive elementary school in Karawang. This research design used a qualitative approach and descriptive methods. In data collection, researchers used interviews while data analysis was adapted from Braun and Clarke (2013). The results of this study indicated that a multisensory approach is an appropriate approach to be applied in learning to read English for students with dyslexia. Teachers can use learning media as support for multisensory use so that in the learning process students can use more than one sense. The use of this approach has a positive effect on learning to read English for students with dyslexia, but this approach requires a variety of supporting media which is quite expensive. The multisensory approach also cannot be used with short learning times because students need a long time to learn.
