Sažetak
The findings of this study indicate that primary and secondary school teachers in Croatia used all the approaches recommended in teaching dyslexic learners as well as provided accommodations and met individual needs of the students. Yet, the practice of primary school teachers differed from those in the secondary school, which is related to the age of the students they teach. The teachers in both phases of education taught a wide range of skills, including grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary, using different recommended approaches. We therefore concluded that Croatian EFL teachers’ classroom practice is ‘dyslexia- friendly’, and in this way the teachers create a positive learning atmosphere in a class of students with mixed abilities.
