| Description | In an increasingly interconnected world, foreign language proficiency has shifted from an educational advantage to a fundamental necessity. Languages function not only as tools for communication but as gateways to cultural understanding, educational opportunity, and social inclusion. Yet, a critical gap persists in language education research: understanding how students with diverse learning needs and their teachers navigate foreign language classrooms. This Research Topic, Learning foreign languages: experiences of persons with disabilities and special educational needs and their teachers, addresses this gap by examining experiences of students with various disabilities and learning challenges across Europe. |
