Abstract section 3: Content/method

The presentation explains classroom procedures including the 3 Try Sheet for small talk, vocabulary bingo with daily homework practice, and selectable grammar and vocabulary tests. The 3 Try Sheet helps students improve speaking through repeated practice. Vocabulary bingo reinforces key words, and daily homework supports habit formation. Selectable tests allow students to choose tasks appropriate to their level. These routine activities are used regularly as part of lesson openings.

Abstract section 4: Outcomes/results

As a result of these routine activities, students showed improved vocabulary retention, grammar understanding, and increased willingness to participate in English activities. Students became more willing to write English words and complete homework consistently. Regular grammar review helped reinforce learning. The structured routines helped establish learning habits and supported engagement. Participants will learn practical strategies and classroom procedures that can be applied to support diverse learners in inclusive EFL classrooms.

Abstract section 1: Relevance

Students with special educational needs often face challenges in vocabulary retention, grammar acquisition, and speaking. Establishing structured routines and repeated practice is important for supporting diverse learners (Nation, 2001). Routine activities and scaffolded support can promote engagement, confidence, and learning continuity. However, practical classroom strategies that integrate vocabulary, grammar, and speaking support in special needs EFL contexts remain underreported. This presentation addresses this gap by introducing structured routine activities that help students develop sustainable English learning habits.

Abstract section 2: Contribution/research questions

This practice-oriented presentation introduces structured routine English activities designed to support students with special educational needs. The purpose is to demonstrate how small talk activities, vocabulary bingo with daily homework, and selectable grammar and vocabulary tests can improve student engagement and learning. The presentation will show how routine activities help establish learning habits and increase students’ willingness to participate in English learning.
