Accomodation Theory in Language Teaching and for Students With Special Needs

Abstract

This research aims to find out the forms of accommodation that can be used for students with special needs and students in general in language or non-language classes. This research method is qualitative, namely taking references from these or from forms of accommodation made by researchers while teaching English. The results of the study show that teachers, with all their efforts, have made efforts to provide accommodation in the teaching and learning process so that students can be treated according to their needs, so that they can be independent and develop their potential. They are enthusiastic in the teaching and learning process because the learning is more interesting and varied, and they appreciate diversity. However, it cannot be denied that the majority of these accommodations usually apply to specific educational institutions and the creativity of teachers to always learn to improve their teaching and learning process, which takes a lot of time to find suitable methods and ignore the potential negative effects of accommodations on students.
