Navigating Inclusive Classrooms: English Language Teachers’ Narratives of Teaching Students with Special Needs
Loryvil Salvaña | Adrian Protacio
Discipline: English Language
Abstract:
Promoting equal learning opportunities for all students, including those with special educational needs (SEN), has
become a global priority. Focused on inclusive education, this study explores secondary English teachers lived
experiences and challenges in supporting students with special needs in mainstream classrooms at Lutayan National
High School. Participants were selected based on having at least five years of teaching experience and three
consecutive years managing classes, including students with SEN. Employing a transcendental phenomenological
research design, this qualitative study utilized semi-structured, face-to-face interviews to gather in-depth insights,
guided by Moustakas’ approach to phenomenological inquiry. The findings revealed thirteen (13) emerging themes
from the responses on the secondary English teachers lived experiences and contexts in inclusive education in English
classrooms. They were all synthesized from 132 formulated meanings, 82 initial themes, and 45 clustered themes. It
examines teachers' pedagogical strategies, behavior support, emotional rewards, student success, roles as inclusive
educators, and ability to manage expectations and set achievable goals. Key challenges identified include insufficient
classroom resources, inadequate teacher training, the need for greater collaboration, and social exclusion and bullying
issues. Despite these challenges, English language teachers view themselves as evolving, inclusive educators, lifelong
learners, advocates for special education, and collaborators overcoming obstacles in inclusive education. To meet
these issues, this research proposes a Teacher Competency Enhancement Program (TCEP) that addresses immediate
instructional and institutional challenges and supports the long-term development of English teachers as leaders in
inclusive education. The results underscore the need for continuous training, enhanced collaboration, and greater
organizational support. Future research is recommended to explore the impact of differentiated instruction and teacher
collaboration on inclusive education and the role of institutional policies in shaping successful inclusive classrooms.
