“…This situation offers many possibilities for renewing existing adaptations and modifications to improve the teaching and learning process of students with special needs in the context of effective teaching. In addition, Barros et al (2021) reported in their study that effective learning takes place after practical examples and practical application of some activities in the process of teaching foreign languages to students with special needs.…”

“…For this reason, it is essential to provide a language teaching process in which students with special needs are approached in a fair manner, adaptations are implemented according to individual learning speed, opportunities are specially created for them to participate in course activities, and a positive classroom environment is cultivated (Chen, 2022;Miller, 2016;Rapti et al, 2023). At this point, it becomes even more important for foreign language teachers to include the necessary adaptations to ensure effective teaching for students with special needs in the process of successful inclusion practices (Barros et al, 2021;Frumos, 2020;Handle, 2010;Rezabala et al, 2020). Otherwise, inclusion practices in language teaching to students with special needs will not be achieved, but rather, this might, most likely, lead to un/intentional segregation practices.…”

“…By determining these experiences, it will be possible to ensure effectiveness in teaching foreign language to students with special needs and to minimise the problems that are likely to be encountered in the current and future process. Some studies in the literature indicate that teachers are ready to integrate students with special needs into their classrooms when given the necessary support (Antoniou et al, 2009;Barros et al, 2021;Hoadjli, & Latrache, 2020). In this context, the research aims to identify the problems experienced in the field and the roots of these problems based on the views of the participants.…”

Meeting the basic education needs of students with special needs, which are the legal rights of students with special needs, requires the implementation of successful inclusion practices within an effective education process. In the process of successful inclusion practices for students with special educational needs, academic and non-academic skills can be taught. Foreign language is also included in the teaching of academic skills. While it is possible to realize effective English language teaching for students with special needs with the necessary arrangements, problems are experienced due to various reasons. Hence, in the process of successful inclusion practices, students with special needs either cannot learn a foreign language at all or have limited foreign language knowledge. The aim of the study is to determine the adaptations made by teachers in effective foreign language teaching for students with special needs in order to ensure successful inclusion practices, the problems they encounter in this process and their solution suggestions. The study is a qualitative study, employing a narrative approach as the research design. The data is collected via narrative interviews with eight teachers of English. The thematic analysis of the findings is presented four main categories: insufficient theoretical knowledge about inclusive practices; problems encountered in the classroom; instructional adaptations, and suggestions from the practitioners. The findings illustrate that the participants received either no or little training on special education and inclusion at undergraduate level or as a professional development opportunity. Moreover, the training they received was only at the theoretical level and partially or completely forgotten due to the fact that it could not be transferred to the application level. Moreover, participants underline that they face problems regarding the diagnosis of students with special needs, as well as their needs to have cooperation between experts, teachers, families and students. Yet, participant teachers found novel ways to overcome their problems and have a more successful inclusive practice for students with special needs. Their offers of solutions to these problems are listed at the end of the study.

“…During the Internet+ boom, many educational contents must be connected to the Internet of Things and cloud computing. On the one hand, students are increasingly interested in the Internet (María et al et al, 2021). They use IoT and cloud computing to gain in-depth knowledge, interact with their teachers, and connect anytime, anywhere; on the other hand, vocal teachers change "Internet" into Education+Internet, which should put education in a dominant position and the Internet in a subordinate position, to make good use of IoT and cloud computing technology to improve the modern level of vocal Singing teaching level.…”

INTRODUCTION: With the rapid development of computer technology, the application of the Internet of Things and cloud computing technology is becoming more and more common. However, there is no more computer technology integration in integrating opera elements into vocal singing teaching. Therefore, compared with other industries, the development of verbal singing teaching could be faster and adapt to the current era of the Internet of Things and cloud computing. Thus studies the exploration of the practice of integrating opera elements into vocal singing teaching based on the Internet of Things and cloud computing. OBJECTIVES: To improve the level of China's Internet of Things and cloud computing technology-based opera elements into vocal singing teaching practice; to solve the current problem of China's traditional culture not being integrated into verbal singing teaching; to promote the development of China's opera industry, the modernization of oral singing teaching, and to enhance the relevance of the Internet and economic development. METHODS: In the study, firstly, the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing technology are used for the establishment of the evaluation model; secondly, the feasibility of integrating opera elements into vocal singing teaching is analyzed through theoretical discussions; lastly, through the analysis of the model of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, the feasibility of integrating opera elements into vocal singing teaching is illustrated by the analysis of the model of the Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud computing, and how the Internet of Things and cloud computing can assist opera elements to be integrated into vocal singing teaching. RESULTS: Using the Internet of Things and cloud computing technology to enrich the vocal singing teaching model from multiple perspectives can better enhance the integration of opera elements into verbal singing teaching. Internet of Things and cloud computing technology play an auxiliary role in the integration of opera elements into vocal singing teaching; the study of the additional mechanism reveals that the effect of the integration of opera elements into verbal singing teaching can be improved through the improvement of the means of the auxiliary function. CONCLUSION: As a representative of Chinese culture, the integration of opera elements into vocal singing teaching practice is of great significance, and the Internet of Things and cloud computing technology play an essential role in helping the integration of opera elements into vocal singing teaching practice.

“…The development of technology makes university English teaching free from the limitations of space and time, which enables teachers to carry out teaching anytime and anywhere, and teachers can also introduce richer teaching content for students in the teaching process [8][9]. To a certain extent, this can exercise students' practical ability and further improve their comprehensive quality [10][11].…”

This paper analyzes the optimization problem of the English teaching process, uses the proposed Newton algorithm to solve the optimization problem, and provides the calculation process for the BFGS algorithm. Based on the optimization theory, the principle of optimization of English teaching in colleges and universities is discussed, and the mixed teaching mode of English in colleges and universities is constructed. To verify the practical effectiveness of the application of the English mixed teaching mode in English teaching work, an empirical analysis was carried out. The results show that the English hybrid teaching mode based on the optimization theory can effectively improve students’ English oral expression ability, and the difference in oral accuracy of the experimental class compared with the control class is 11.98 points, and 20.41 points improve fluency. It can also provide effective help for students to improve the content, language, and chapter structure of English writing and promote the innovative development of English teaching in colleges and universities.
