Increasingly, deaf and hard-of-hearing students are attending mainstream and integrated schools. It is necessary to provide a number of adaptations, sometimes modifications, of the teacher’s instructional methods and forms for their education to be effective. The purpose of this article is to discuss the issue of adapting English as a Foreign Language classes in early elementary education to the needs of students with hearing impairments. Effective education in this area requires syllabuses, textbooks, and teaching resources that are developed in accordance with the principles of universal design for learning and then necessary adaptations and modifications that are planned on an individual basis following children’s needs and abilities. The author suggests the principles of universal design for learning according to which foreign language instruction for students with hearing impairments should be planned. Due to the internal diversity of this group of students, not only methodological procedures should be individualized but also instructional forms and methods used during English classes as well as the methods of presenting instructional materials by the teacher or other students. In order to optimize the reception and transmission of content, appropriate external conditions that are adapted to individual students’ perceptual and performance abilities need to be provided. Also, the diversity of ways in which students with hearing impairments present their knowledge and thus actively participate in classes is pointed out. Suggesting different adaptations, the author emphasizes the need to take care that instructional materials maintain their full substantive value.

The purpose of this paper is to present the competences of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students in English as a foreign language – in the opinion of their teachers. There were 19 English teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing participating in this study and they represent 11 Polish and 8 foreign universities. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire, evaluating their DHH students’ competencies in reading, writing, lipreading/listening and speaking in English at the beginning and at the end of the students’ formal English classes at the university. The results indicate a good potential of this group of students in mastering basic language skills, but also their considerable difficulties in terms of mastering a foreign language at higher levels. The article also contains recommendations of teachers regarding teaching strategies to improve the quality of education of this group of students.

The aim of this article is to present the problems and phenomena present among the deaf and hearing-impaired people, and to study the trend estimation of this issue. The study was based on questionnaires given to the children of primary and middle schools, with the questionnaires including abstract expressions divided into thematic sections. The results present lack of comprehension of the abstract expressions by the hearing-impaired children, especially those expressions which are used the least in the everyday language. The older the students, the more language experience but at the same time the less confidence in their own abilities they have. While working with the hearing-impaired children, it is important to remember about paying attention to the issue of abstract expressions such as metaphors, idiomatic expressions, even the prepositional phrases or the names of categories and professions. It would definitely make it easier for them to understand written texts and simplify broadly defined functioning in our society.
