Abstract

It is a known fact that students in Higher Education with a disability have increased in number year after year (Who's studying in HE? | HESA). According to the Higher Education Statistics Agency, in 2018/2019, 340,420 students declared a known disability and in 2022/2023 that number increased to 484,270. In five years, the student population with a known disability has increased by 42,25%. That is a record number and we can be assured that number will continue to increase. We were inspired to create a new interest group related to inclusivity and inclusive pedagogies after last year’s AULC conference Exeter. We recognised the need to investigate, to share experiences and to collaborate. Therefore, our presentation aims to inspire language educators to be part of our new interest group and embrace and implement more inclusive practices in the classroom. By creating an inclusive modern languages curriculum, we can enhance the language learning experience for all students, fostering a deeper appreciation for linguistic and cultural diversity in the process. As educators, our role extends beyond teaching our discipline; it includes fostering meaningful learning experiences for ALL students. The evolving diversity of the student population brings a wide range of experiences, abilities, skills, and personalities to the university environment. Through the new Inclusivity interest group, we aim to create a welcoming and supportive space where we can share experiences, collaborate, and explore inclusive teaching and learning practices together.
