Teaching strategies for students with autism spectrum disorders can be done by:1. By applying the Total Physical Response (TPR) method., 2. By applying a contextual approach-Contextual Teaching Learning (CTL)., 3. By applying image media with playing techniques., 4. By implementing methods, namely simplifying lesson plans according to the needs of students with autism spectrum disorders., 5. By applying the Interactive Video Recording Method.
The conclusion is that as teachers we must really understand the condition of our students, especially those with special needs, for example students with autism spectrum disorders. It is necessary to apply strategies in teaching English so that learning objectives can be achieved.
It is suggested for schools to achieve the expected goals, all parties involved in the school should help students with special needs in the learning process and provide services to students with special needs. Apart from that, schools should add special assistant teachers (shadow teachers/buddies) with the aim of ensuring that children with special needs receive optimal services. Besides, English teachers should use more strategies to develop students’ English and apply them in the English teaching and learning process. Apart from that, teachers should better understand the conditions of students with special needs, especially students with autism spectrum disorders so that teaching plans can be appropriate and learning objectives can be achieved. Apart from that, for future researchers, it can be used as a reference and reference language for conducting further research on the same topic.
