Abstract

This research aims to improve the English skills of children with special needs by utilizing support from their environment, including seniors and external tutors. The study employs lectures, discussions, brainstorming, question–answer sessions, and demonstrations, supported by the Wheel of Names as an interactive learning medium. This tool encourages fairness and active participation by reducing perceptions of favoritism and providing equal opportunities for all learners. Its flexible functions make it suitable for English teaching, quizzes, and various classroom activities. The use of this media helps strengthen students’ awareness of the importance of English, provides structured training, and fosters consistent communication practices. The problem-solving approach involves using media and conversation modules to enhance teacher competence and support active English learning. Providing conversation modules also contributes to improving learning outcomes and communication skills. The expected outcome is to help children with special needs communicate more fluently in English through vocabulary enrichment and guided practice.
