Abstract

Inclusive education in elementary schools ensures equitable learning opportunities for students with diverse needs; however, instructional practices often assume learner homogeneity. This study investigates the implementation of the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework in English language instruction at an inclusive elementary school in Yogyakarta, focusing on the principles of multiple means of engagement, representation, and action and expression. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis, and examined using an interactive analysis model. The findings indicate that UDL is implemented contextually, particularly in engagement and representation, as teachers utilize game-based learning, participatory activities, and multimodal resources to enhance motivation and accessibility. However, implementation of action and expression remains limited, particularly in assessment practices, which are still largely standardized and dominated by written tests. These findings suggest that UDL implementation remains at an emerging stage, where diverse instructional strategies have not yet been fully aligned with differentiated assessment approaches. This study contributes to the limited literature on UDL in English language teaching in inclusive elementary contexts in Indonesia and highlights the need to strengthen teachers’ competencies in designing flexible and differentiated assessments.

Abstract

Multiliteracy focuses on multimodal communication and linguistic and cultural diversity. It is increasingly relevant in 21st-century primary education. In Indonesian elementary English classrooms, multiliteracy opens space for more engaging learning but also introduces pedagogical and infrastructural constraints. This study explores how primary teachers implement multiliteracy-oriented practices in English lessons and identifies the challenges that arise during classroom application. Employing a qualitative case study, data were gathered through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis involving six teachers. The results show that teachers integrated various multimodal resources, such as images, songs, videos, and mobile devices. The teachers also applied interactive strategies, including role-play, games, and group discussion. Furthermore, the teachers modified teaching materials to accommodate students’ proficiency levels. Nonetheless, limited student vocabulary, inadequate technological support, and teachers’ restricted English competence emerged as key barriers. Despite these constraints, students responded positively to multimodal and interactive activities, displaying strong enthusiasm and engagement in the learning process.
