Abstract

This article examines the impact of inclusive education strategies in the context of teaching English as a foreign language (EFL). The study included a review of documentation, pre- and post-service teachers’ accounts, and surveys. Preliminary results indicate that pre-service teachers are actively improving their teaching methods by adapting their teaching materials to the diverse needs of their learners. The results highlight the importance of preparing pre-service teachers to adapt their curricula to students with special educational needs. This, in turn, facilitates more effective classroom management, planning of the learning process, and the development of creative teaching approaches.
