Responding to Special Educational Needs In this session, we will outline some general teaching principles for teaching pupils with special educational needs (SEN) in the mainstream English classroom. We will then look at common problem areas and effective strategies which not only help pupils with SEN, but also benefit the whole class. You'll try out a variety of activities and consider ways in which you can start the new school year on the right foot.
