Didactics of functional grammar in light of the textual approach and its impact on the development of comprehension in learners with learning disabilities.

Abstract

Educational programs strive to provide learners with the skills of written comprehension, and this occurs at different educational levels. Therefore, it is essential to reconsider the way of treating the educational text in order to achieve the objectives, compatible skills and requirements of the emerging development in the field of language teaching. To do this, program development specialists have adopted a text-based pedagogical option, which is called "the textual approach".

In this modest research work, we were interested in highlighting the role played by the functional grammar teaching strategy in light of the textual approach for the development of reading comprehension skills in learners with learning difficulties, and in proposing a pedagogical approach based on grammatical comprehension that draws its principles from textual linguistics.
