| Description | With the recent shift towards inclusive education in the Czech Republic, an increasing number of teachers encounter or will encounter DHH in their regular classes. The case of foreign language education, at the same time, differs from other school subjects in many respects, for example in the types of interaction it contains. The paper presents the experiences of teachers of English as a Foreign Language who worked with DHH students included in regular Czech secondary schools. The core of the paper presents the experiences shared by the interviewed teachers with regard to the support and information they received from their schools and other institutions, the everyday classroom experience including the communication with the students, the teaching approaches, the necessary accommodations, and so on. Sharing experiences of teachers is understood as particularly helpful to identify examples of good practice, support English teachers who meet DHH learners in their classes as well as inform teacher educators and representatives of various institutions about the types and kinds of support that would be useful to prepare and accompany teachers in such situations. |
