TEACHING ENGLISH FOR INCLUSIVE STUDENTS: EFFECTIVE METHODS AND STRATEGIES

Abstract

Inclusive education ensures that all students, including those with disabilities and special learning needs, have equal access to quality education. Teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in inclusive classrooms requires specialized methods that accommodate diverse learning styles, cognitive abilities, and physical challenges. This study examines effective instructional methods for teaching English to inclusive students, with a focus on differentiated instruction, assistive technology, multisensory learning, and peer collaboration. The research was conducted among second-year students at Uzbekistan State World Languages University, comparing their language acquisition and engagement levels before and after implementing inclusive teaching strategies. The results indicate that targeted interventions significantly enhance language proficiency, self-confidence, and classroom participation among inclusive students. The study underscores the need for teacher training, curriculum adaptation, and policy reforms to support inclusive English language learning.
