Abstract
This study explores the strategies and challenges in teaching English to students with intellectual disabilities at SLB YKK Pacitan. The researchers employed a descriptive qualitative research design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with an English teacher, focusing on techniques used in teaching writing, speaking, listening, and reading. The findings reveal that repetition and imitation are the most effective strategies for memory reinforcement and skill development. However, teaching reading remains challenging due to students' difficulties with symbol recognition and memory retention. Limited teaching time further exacerbates these challenges. The study underscores the need for innovative and engaging methods, such as visual aids and technology, to enhance learning. Recommendations include providing additional teacher training, increasing collaboration among educators and parents, and adjusting teaching schedules to allow for more personalized attention. This research highlights the importance of consistent, patient, and creative approaches to support the educational needs of students with intellectual disabilities. Keywords: Intellectual Disabilities, Mental Disabilities, Obstacles, Teaching English
