MODERN METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO TEACHING ENGLISH IN PRESCHOOL GROUPS WITH CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS

Abstract

This article explores modern methodological approaches to teaching English in preschool groups that include children with special educational needs (SEN). The study focuses on strategies that consider the psychological, cognitive, and social characteristics of children, aiming to enhance language acquisition and overall development. The research highlights the effectiveness of differentiated instruction, activity-based learning, multisensory methods, play-based technologies, communicative approaches, and digital learning tools in inclusive classrooms. Results demonstrate that innovative pedagogical methods support English language development, foster social integration, motivation, and cognitive growth in children with diverse learning needs. The article also provides practical recommendations for educators to improve teaching practices and create supportive learning environments in inclusive preschool settings.
