Abstract: | This article seeks to find out how teaching and learning of English Language is done in Yumba Special School for
children with intellectual disabilities. Mainly a qualitative study, the data was collected through interviews of teachers,
document analysis and observation of teachers and children during English Language instructional hours as well as
observation of general discipline in the school. The results indicated that children with intellectual disabilities received
instructions the same way as children in mainstream education. Teacher dominated methods of teaching are
employed, teachers do not consider children’s learning styles and multiple intelligence to enable them differentiate
instruction nor individualize their teaching nor do they use adequate Teaching Learning Materials. The study
recommends that stakeholders should consider providing TLMs, monitor and supervise their usage and organise inservice training to teachers on new and evolving ways of teaching English Language to children with intellectual
disabilities. |
