Here you can find interactive self-study units that focus on teaching English as a Foreign Language in classes with learners with special educational needs.

These two units use the same lesson plan to examine different issues in a heterogeneous language class.

• To examine the issues faced by EFL learners with a special need in the area of hearing, and how to help them be successful, begin here: Case Study: Hearing Impairment

• To consider why and how you can collaborate with a colleague in a co-taught EFL class, continue here: Co-Teaching in Heterogeneous & Inclusive EFL Settings

This lessons were developed in the ZZL-Netzwerk Lehrerbildung as part of the German Ministry of Education and Research’s Initiative for Excellence in Teacher Education, funded jointly by the state and federal governments of the Federal Republic of Germany.
