IATEFL - Inclusive Practices and Special Educational Needs - Special Interest Group

Welcome

If you have a professional interest in issues related to inclusive practices and special educational needs in the English language teaching profession then IATEFL's Inclusive Practices and Special Educational Needs Special Interest Group, or 'IP&SEN SIG' as we called ourselves, is for you!

About IP&SEN SIG

The IATEFL IP&SEN SIG promotes genuinely inclusive practices, that lead to a sense of belonging and full participation for all within the ELT community.

We share good practice and experience and disseminate information about inclusive teaching methods, materials and resources which help to identify and dismantle all barriers to inclusion and raise awareness of the challenges facing learners whose specific needs and identities may be unidentified or not acknowledged.

Our remit covers principles of inclusion relating to a wide range of human characteristics and identities, acknowledging that they overlap in many individuals, for example:

different abilities (both cognitive and physical)
race, ethnicity, nationality and linguistic background
age
faith and religion
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression
social class, economic class
