Description

This presentation builds on previous research into inclusive, learner-led English presentation courses. Drawing on student evaluations, it highlights how multimodal, group-based design empowers students—especially those with learning differences/difficulties—by allowing them to integrate their unique talents into collaborative presentations. The findings reveal improved language confidence, stronger peer relationships, and heightened engagement. Suggestions from students also inform ongoing course design, showing how inclusive strategies can foster both autonomy and equity in language learning.
