Prerequisites and performance requirements To successfully complete the course, students should have prior knowledge about approaches, methods, principles, techniques, and means of teaching languages and literature in secondary school; psychological characteristics of secondary school students; state policy in the area of educating children with special needs. Students are required to possess the ability to use a wide range of methods and techniques in various forms of instruction; develop exercises and tasks for students to master different aspects of the Ukrainian and foreign languages; design classes with the application of tools offered by multiple teaching technologies; navigate in the literature on language pedagogy; efficiently implement the basic concepts of teaching Ukrainian literature in secondary school.

Course Description: The course aims to develop students’ ability to teach languages and literature to secondary school students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), create conditions for the social rehabilitation of children with deviations in psychophysical development, and implement the latest inclusive technologies drawing on existing international experience. The course comprises two content modules. Module 1 considers the concept of inclusive education, its objectives and principles, and a critical analysis of the national and international experience of implementing inclusivity in education. Module 2 focuses on the particularities of teaching languages and literature in an inclusive classroom. The course ends with a pass/fail test.

Classroom activities and teaching techniques The course is delivered through a combination of lectures, practical sessions, and project-based and independent learning. Major activities performed by the students include classroom performance, individual/group projects, module tests, and an end-of-course assignment. A student can score a maximum of 100 points and a minimum of 60 points for these activities that are components of formative assessment. A detailed description of formative assessment is presented in the course description made public on the official website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.

Assessment A student’s final grade is based on a 100-point grading system, a pass/fail assessment score is made up of the scores earned for the performance during the term (max. 100, min. 60 points) and does not involve any additional assessment events. The end-of-course assessment score is the sum of points earned for the classroom performance (30 points), module tests (40 points), project (10 points), and end-of-course assignment (20 points). To succeed in the pass/fail assessment, students are required to gain a passing grade of 60; students fail if the score is below 60. A detailed description of the assessment criteria is given in the course curriculum made public on the website of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Philology.
