Alphabet Headaches
Literacy challenges for non-alphabetic English learners
Welcome!
This website has been designed by Dr Pauline Bunce to highlight the huge challenges faced by English learners who come from different-scripted language backgrounds. In the 21st century, such a background characterises the overwhelming majority of today's English learners.
Unfortunately, English-language teaching materials and methodologies have yet to reflect this geographical and linguistic reality. These pages are designed to go some way towards countering these short-comings.
This website is especially relevant for teachers of
Chinese-background learners.
