This study suggests that a successful English language education in inclusive settings requires various efforts to devise instructional strategies. In terms of school-wide educational support, multicultural education needs to be applied to general students for understanding disability concepts, and to students with disabilities for understanding foreign custom and culture. In the classroom, moreover, teachers can use literary texts for more effective and authentic learning of English, and also facilitate students group activities for more dynamic and comprehensive language learning.
In order to enhance the level and amount of participation of students with disabilities in general education classes, it is critical for Korean teachers to pay more attention to the parameters directly related to the quality of instruction for an individual student, such as instructional adaptations. Accordingly, future priority research directions and topics with respect to teaching practices and instructional issues associated with effective instruction for students with disabilities in general education classes are suggested.
