LOL. I've read some resources, and have my own ideas. But I actually haven't taught anyone like this.
A lot of English teachers in Japan heavily rely on the fact that years and years of English in the public school system will produce adults with decent reading and writing skills. It's rare that teachers have to work with adults from the very beginning of their studies.
I include myself here, as I walk into the class and am very aware of the mistakes and difficulties students will most likely have. A student entering the class with an inability to read would definitely throw a wrench into the works.
The student in question is at one of my company's schools, and the teachers are struggling to incorporate him into the system. I've given a few ideas, resources, and handouts, but it's always good to get information from firsthand experience.
So far the ideas have definitely helped. Thank you!
