Abstract

The issues with teaching English to students with speech disorders in the main general education school are the focus of this study. Speech is one of the non-linear open functional systems that closely combines biological and mental components, which makes it relevant. A child who stammers could be enrolled in a modern general education school today, where they would be given a solid foundation in general education along with a thorough study of the English language. The main causes of this severe speech disorder, as well as the manifestations of stuttering and their times of occurrence, are discussed in this article. The following list includes the primary symptoms that appear in the various types of stuttering. Approachable strategies to overcome stuttering are discussed. The study's novelty lay in the descriptive method of observation that was employed to pinpoint the challenges faced by a ninth-grade student from a single secondary school who had speech disorders. English language instructors and primary school teachers will find this article to be useful in practice. The authors reach the following conclusions: for school-age children with speech disorders, it is necessary to create a comfortable learning environment at school and organize individual classes in speech correction using digital technologies. Early detection of stuttering and preventive psychological and pedagogical assistance of teachers and doctors can stop the further progression of stuttering.
