The Science of Handwriting in Language Learning

🎙️ ESL Talk — Season 9, Episode 5 🎙️


A podcast for English Teachers, by English Teachers.


Does handwriting still matter in a digital world, especially for multilingual learners? This week, we're joined by Dr. Cheryl Lundy Swift, award-winning educational leader and literacy expert, for a conversation about handwriting, literacy, and multilingual language development.


Dr. Swift serves as Professional Learning Director at Learning Without Tears, where her work centers on handwriting, structured literacy, and language development. She has led curriculum development for literacy programs across North America, hosts the Literacy Matters podcast, and works closely with educators to bring practical, research-backed strategies into the classroom.


In this episode, Dr. Swift unpacks why handwriting remains a powerful tool for literacy and memory, how writing development connects to broader language acquisition, and what ESL teachers should understand about supporting multilingual students whose literacy journeys may not follow a traditional path. It's a thoughtful, practical conversation for any teacher working to support reading, writing, and long-term student success in a multilingual classroom.
