Abstract

This study explores the challenges faced by English as a Foreign Language (EFL) teachers when instructing students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in elementary schools. Adopting a qualitative approach, the study utilized a descriptive case study to deeply explore the experiences of one EFL teacher. Semi�structured interviews were conducted to collect data, which were then analyzed using Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clark, 2006). This method provided detailed insights into the teacher's challenges and the strategies employed for teaching ASD students. The research identified three themes: (1) addressing ASD students characteristics and behavior, (2) maintaining effective communication with ASD students, and (3) integrating collaborative partnership with stakeholders in teaching English to ASD students. The findings emphasize the necessity for specialized training for EFL teachers to create personalized teaching methods that address the unique needs of ASD students. Applying these strategies not only enhances educational outcomes for ASD students but also fosters a more inclusive and supportive classroom environment. The study underscores the ongoing need for support and resources for EFL teachers to effectively manage and overcome the challenges of teaching ASD students. Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL), EFL Teaching Challenges and Strategies.
