– those with special educational needs must have access to regular schools which should accommodate them within a childcentred pedagogy capable of meeting these needs;
– regular schools with this inclusive orientation are the most effective means of combating discriminatory attitudes, creating welcoming communi­ties, building an inclusive society and achieving education for all;
– moreover, they provide an effective education to the majority of chil­dren and improve the efficiency and ultimately the cost-effectiveness of the entire education system.
Inclusive education, by its very nature, counteracts discriminatory atti­tudes towards the education of children belonging to social minority groups and, therefore, proves to be the only possible norm for the comprehensive fulfilment of the only possible norm for the implementation of international legal instruments against discrimination.
The possibility of implementing an inclusive approach was provided for in the legislation of the Russian Federation in the field of education [Полуянова, 2020].
On 24 September 2008, Russia signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
The recommendations of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation were also approved on 18 April 2008. The current legis­lation makes it possible to organise the education of children with special needs in regular educational establishments, in the same class with children who do not have developmental disorders.
Article 24 on education introduces the concept of “inclusive education” and requires States Parties to ensure “inclusive education at all levels and lifelong learning”. In December 2010, the State Duma of the Russian Feder­ation began work on amending Russian legislation to bring it into line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This was done in preparation for the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. All the necessary amendments to a number of laws were made with effect from 1 January 2013 and 1 July 2013.
In 2012, Russia ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, declaring to the world its readiness to implement it at all levels of education. This defined our country’s educational policy in the field of inclusive education.
21
In the Russian Federation, the law “On Education of the Russian Feder- ation” N 273/ 2012 provides for inclusive education
25
. The law was adopted in the 3rd reading by the State Duma of the Russian Federation on 21 December 2012 and officially entered the life of educational organisa­tions on 29 December 2013. For the first time in many years, the law estab­lishes a special legal status of a student with disabilities as a person with deficiencies in physical and/or mental development that prevent him or her from receiving education without the use of special conditions. The defi­ciencies should be confirmed by the psychological, medical and pedagogical commission.
On 1 September 2016, the federal state standard of primary general edu­cation for students with disabilities, known as inclusive education, came into force, which had been approved by the Ministry of Education and Sci­ence of the Russian Federation on 19 December 2014
26
.
Today, there are two texts that specifically address inclusive education in Russia:
1. Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Feder­ation dated 19 December 2014 N 1599 “On Approval of the Federal State Educational Standard for Education of Students with Mental Retardation (Intellectual Disabilities)”

.
2. Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Feder­ation dated 19 December 2014 N 1598 “On Approval of the Federal State Educational Standard of Primary General Education for Pupils with Special Needs”

The Herzen State Pedagogical University’s projects outline the require­ments for implementing the basic educational programme for primary gen­eral education for children with disabilities, based on the federal state edu­cational standards. The programme should include requirements:
– for deaf learners;
– for learners with hearing impairments;
– for blind learners;
– for learners with visual impairments;
– for learners with severe speech difficulties;
– for learners with physical disabilities;
– for learners with cognitive development disorders;
– for learners with intellectual disabilities;

The Russian Federation’s legislation on education gives parents of chil­dren with disabilities the right to choose a school for their children’s educa­tion. In the current social conditions, most parents prefer to have their chil­dren educated in regular schools, and a significant number of parents do not agree to have their disabled children educated in special classes or schools [Лошакова и др., 2002].
There exists a range of public organisations dedicated to achieving complete inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of society, with particular emphasis on improving their quality of life. Inclusive educa­tion is one of their key focuses
30
.
To achieve an equitable education for children with disabilities in main­stream schools, an adaptable environment must be established, enabling their complete integration and personal growth within the educational insti­tution. This includes arranging suitable resources like well-equipped class­rooms and areas, as well as rehabilitation and medical equipment.

2.3. Inclusive Education in the Foreign Language Classroom
Learning a foreign language presents a unique opportunity to engage with diverse cultures and expand one’s understanding of the world. Mastery of a language improves a child’s personality and social adaptability, equip­ping them to navigate a constantly changing world. Furthermore, foreign languages broaden students’ linguistic horizons and contribute significantly to their overall linguistic development, which is especially relevant for working with students with disabilities and health problems.
According to the findings of G. A. Urusova, when implementing inclu­sive education in foreign language classes it is recommended:
– to develop lexical skills, which ensure that new words and expressions are memorised and used in speech;
– use digital technology to enable a student with special educational needs to enjoy learning a foreign language;
– create a favourable psychological climate;
– use health-saving technologies, such as adapted programmes, visual and audio materials, interactive tasks, taking into account the peculiarities of the psycho-physical development and abilities of such children;

– create situations of success in every lesson, so that a disabled child feels the joy of a small but well-done task [Уру сова, 2013].
In L. Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory, impairment leads to a restructur­ing of social relations and a displacement of all systems of behaviour. The primary concern with disability is not the physical limitation itself, but rather the social implications that arise from it. L.S. Vygotsky advocated for an in­clusive special education model that emphasizes positive differentiation, whereby education is tailored to individual strengths rather than weaknesses.
L. S. Vygotsky discovered the links between socio-cultural processes in society and mental processes in the individual. His vision of remedial educa­tion was based on the creation of disability-specific compensatory strategies.
L. S. Vygotsky emphasised the dynamic nature of disability and argued that constant changes in disontogenesis take place at the structural and con­tent levels, during the child’s development and under the influence of educa­tion and remediation. Basic principles of child development, such as the internalisation of cultural activities and symbolic tools as an internal psy­chological process, are fully applicable to disabled children. On the other hand, the development of handicapped children is very different in the way and means of internalisation of culture: in disabled children compensatory strategies (mechanisms) are built and social complications arise due to the disability. He proposes the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development, in which he divides development into two levels: “the distance between ac­tual levels of development as determined by independent problem solving, and the level of potential development as determined by problem solving under adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers” [Выготский, 1983, p. 123].
Vygotsky’s groundbreaking and even revolutionary theory of education has helped to create a commitment to the development of the field of special education and is fully applicable to teaching foreign languages to students with disabilities.
Wang suggested some enlightenment about the influence of L. S. Vygotsky in special education:
– cognitive development is triggered by social interaction. The disad­vantageous social interactional environment may cause unfavourable devel­opment of cognitive ability;
– gradual assistance and guidance prompts the cognitive development zone of the special children to expand;
– cognitive assessment needs help of consistent interactional procession, for truly identifying the real potential of children;
25
– cognitive assessment not only finds out children’s initial learning lev­el, but also pays attention to the level of improvement they get from the teaching;
– effective teaching must offer students teaching material in accordance with their learning level, inspiring relevant knowledge accumulation, con­centrating on important information and raising interaction of positive and negative cases as employed by Socrates [Wang, 2009].
Language learning strategies used to teach learners with SEN can be cognitive, metacognitive or socio-affective.
Cognitive strategies are one type of learning strategy that learners use in order to learn more successfully. These include repetition, organising new language, summarising meaning, guessing meaning from context, using im­agery for memorisation. All of these strategies involve deliberate manipula­tion of language to improve learning.
Metacognition – an ability to think about and regulate one’s own think­ing. Metacognition can sometimes be difficult for students to achieve, but it is an important goal because it gradually frees learners from dependence on expert teachers to guide their learning. Reflective learners, you might say, become their own expert guides.
Affective strategies are learning strategies concerned with managing emotions, both negative and positive. The relationship between affective strategies and learning is not clear, but a positive affective environment helps learning in general.
Ehrman and Oxford, (1990) provided a classification comprising six groups for language learning strategies (Table 1).
Direct strategies, in which is included memory “for entering infor- mation into memory and retrieving it” and within it, strategies such as creat-
ing mental linkage, applying images and sounds, reviewing well and em- ploying action. The second type is cognitive strategies or strategies
to manipulate the language and reproduce the meanings. These include
practicing, receiving and sending messages strategies, analyzing, reasoning and creating structure for input and output. The third type is compensation strategies in which guessing intelligently and overcoming limitations in speaking and writing are examples.
Indirect strategies: Metacognitive strategies, such as centering learning, arranging and planning and evaluating learning. Affective strategies in­clude lowering your anxiety, encouraging oneself, and taking down one´s emotional temperature and finally, social strategies such as asking ques­tions, cooperating with others and empathizing with others [Ehrman, 1990].

In the case of visually-impaired students, compensatory strategies are effective because they are based on higher mental processes that may be relatively unaffected by the severity or type of the person’s disability.
To be effective in using verbal communication, teachers need to use ap­propriate instructional strategies. Ellis proposes a series of principles to guide second language instruction:
– instructions need to ensure that learners develop both a rich repertoire of formulaic expressions and a rule-based competence;
– instruction needs to ensure that learners focus predominantly on meaning;
– instruction needs to ensure that learners also focus on form;
– instruction needs to be predominantly directed at developing implicit knowledge of the L2 while not neglecting explicit knowledge;
– instruction needs to take into account the learner’s built-in syllabus;
– successful instructed language learning requires extensive L2 input;
– successful instructed language learning also requires opportunities for output;
– the opportunity to interact in the L2 is central to developing L2 profi­ciency;
– instruction needs to take account of individual differences in learners;
– in assessing learners’ L2 proficiency it is important to examine free as well as controlled production [Ellis, 2005].
In a foreign language classroom, it is possible to learn through play, which brings students closer together and teaches them tolerance towards each other. Cooperation helps to overcome all psychological barriers and makes children with disabilities feel like full members of the educational setting. A variety of forms and methods of working in foreign language classes will undoubtedly help children to socialise and find themselves in this big world [Мосина и др., 2016].

3. LEARNERS WITH SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS: TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS. DEFINING STUDENTS WITH SEN
3.1. The concept of the “norm” and the “anomaly”
in the development process
Determining a person’s level of normality is a complex and challenging interdisciplinary issue. Normality is frequently defined as the absence of pathology in an individual.
The meaning of the term “norm” in relation to one’s psychosocial de­velopment is becoming increasingly unclear, and it now has various conno­tations.
A statistical norm refers to the psychosocial development level of an individual that matches the average qualitative and quantitative indica­tors obtained from a representative sample of people who share the same age, gender, culture, and other relevant features. The use of statistical norms can be crucial in identifying and measuring the severity of developmental disorders, as well as determining the need for psychological, educational, and medical interventions.
The notion of a functional norm rests on the premise that every indi­vidual’s developmental trajectory is singular and any deviation can only be deemed as such when compared to their own personal developmental pat­tern. In this case, the standard can be defined as the relationship between an individual and society in which the person productively engages in their primary activity, satisfies their basic needs, and simultaneously fulfills soci­etal expectations based on factors such as age, gender, and psychosocial de­velopment, while avoiding prolonged internal and external conflicts.
Thus, normal development is indicated when:
– a child’s level of development is equivalent to that of most children their age or older, with consideration given to the developmental norms of their society;
