'Technology is excellent for supporting language learners with special educational needs. An important principle is to focus on learning needs starting from what somebody can do rather than what they can’t do''
(Dexter, P. in Hockly, N. 2017, p. 161).
SEN stands for ‘special educational needs”, a term used “to refer to learners with a wide range of needs that require special supports in the language classroom”. (Hockly, N. 2017)
