the methodology used in teaching English should be made
suitable for students with learning disabilities
b) educational material should be catchy and attractive, but also corresponding
c) the teacher should plan extra working time with the child
d) the curriculum must be adapted for students with learning disabilities (namely, eliminate the need to cover the entire curriculum and attention should be directed to the development of several skills)
e) the teacher, together with a specialist in inclusive education, must create an individual study plan for students with learning disabilities. The lesson should be very interactive, emphasis should be placed on sing, play, dance, draw.
The movements are useful for students with learning disabilities as they are difficult to stay focused or sit down. The atmosphere should also be pleasant for students as students feel uncomfortable working under pressure, in stressful situations or in a boring activity.
Abstract concepts, rules, grammar rules should be avoided they cause tension. Better to avoid fixing bugs too often because it can demotivate students. Foreign language is studied directly exposure, so students with learning disabilities should be made aware of English through listening and reading. Students have different learning styles, even healthy ones. For this reason, teachers are advised familiar with the learning style of a child with a learning disability. [5]
Conclusion
In the course of the study, the following tasks were solved:
The concept of «student with disabilities» has been studied.
The specifics of teaching English in middle and high school are considered.
The methods of teaching English to children with disabilities in middle and high school have been identified.
Students with disabilities are students who have deficiencies in physical and (or) psychological development, confirmed by the psychological-medical-pedagogical commission and preventing education without creating special conditions.The personal development of a child depends on biological and sociocultural factors. The implementation of the doctor’s recommendations is one of the stages in the successful development of a disabled person.
All students with disabilities experience to some extent pronounced difficulties in mastering curricula due to insufficient cognitive abilities, specific disorders of school skills or speech, and sometimes with violations in the organization of activities and behavior. The training program for children with disabilities is based on providing disabled people with all the necessary devices to overcome psychophysical barriers during education. Teachers motivate children to be active in the classroom, the joint work of psychologists and parents contributes to the achievement of good results. The high quality of inclusive education depends on the interaction of school infrastructures.

The Conceptual Framework of Teacher Personality in Relation to Student Engagement in Foreign Language Learning and Teaching
(Suleyman Demirel University)
Abstract. This review explores the relationship between teacher personality and student engagement, drawing on advancements in personality theory to understand how teacher personality affects education. It highlights certain characteristics that lead to more student engagement and others that cause anxiety and insecurity, leading to poor academic performance. The findings suggest the need for more empirical research to improve teacher effectiveness. Keywords: student engagement, teacher personality, review, personality theory.
Introduction. This paper discusses the relationship between teacher personality and student engagement, which has been understudied compared to the attention given to student engagement alone. Teacher personality is an important factor in teacher effectiveness and can influence student engagement, which in turn affects academic performance. Addressing disengagement requires understanding the reasons behind it, and the teacher-student relationship plays a crucial role in this. Personality traits should be considered when recruiting teachers, and the Five-Factor Model of personality is a useful framework for understanding teacher personality. Multiple scales are available to measure the Big Five domains.
1.Studies of personality traits. This passage examines different definitions of personality and their fundamental aspects. Roberts and DelVecchio (2000) define personality as distinctive psychological traits that direct people’s actions, beliefs, and emotions in various contexts. Mayer (2007) combines four mostly accepted definitions to create a consensus definition, describing personality as «a system of parts that is organized, develops, and is expressed in a person’s actions.» Guthrie et al. (1998) and Larsen and Buss (2008) view personality as an individual’s response to the environment based on organized and consistent psychological traits and mechanisms. Buss (1989) attributes traits as defining and distinctive features of personality, while Snow (1984) reports that traits are hereditary, permanent, and physically based. Recent research (Roberts et al., 2017) has shown that personality can be changed with clinical intervention and nonclinical methods (Hudson & Fraley, 2015). Jackson et al. (2012), Lüdtke et al. (2011), Specht et al. (2011), and Roberts et al (2006) argue against the idea of traits being immutable and permanent over a lifetime.
3.Studies of teacher personality and students (BFI related). According to Stronge et al. (2004), a teacher’s personality refers to their inner qualities reflected through values, beliefs, behavior, and attitude that impacts teaching performance, practice, and effectiveness (Curtis & Liying, 2001). Teacher personalities influence material choices, strategy, classroom management, and student relationships. Hashim et al. (2014) suggest that administrators should consider humanistic factors alongside educational qualifications when hiring teachers. Assessments of a teacher’s personality by students are influenced by the personality traits of the assessors (Göncz et al., 2014). Desired teacher traits include moderate extraversion, openness to new experiences, agreeableness, and conscientiousness. Students prefer teachers who demonstrate respect, understanding. openness to cooperation, and good lecturing skills (Sánchez et al., 2011).
4.Studies of correlation between student engagement and teacher personality. The amount of time students allocate to learning activities was the first definition of student engagement in its infant stage (Brophy, 1983; Fisher et al., 1980; McIntyre et al.,1983). Although student engagement has long been solely associated with students; involvement in educational processes, the new perspective on the term’s definition also includes cognitive and affective components. Astin (1984) referred to student engagement as «the amount of physical and psychological energy that the student devotes to the academic experience», and highlighted that for an effort to be considered as engagement along with investing time, students must actively invest in intellectual capacities and their attention. In general, researchers (Kuh, 2003; Handelsman et al., 2005; Chapman, 2003) seem to concur on three major components in defining student engagement, which are cognitive, affective and behavioral efforts put by the students. Talking separately about each of these aspects, according to Chapman (2003) cognitive criteria indicates the focus devoted and the mental involvement when doing the tasks, second
