Awareness of the Language Norm by Speech Therapy Students as a Factor of Readiness to Work in an Inclusive Educational Environment

The work is aimed at studying the formation of language reflection and the peculiarities of awareness of the language norm by speech therapy students as an indicator of their readiness to work with children with disabilities. The research materials obtained from a sample of first-year students of the Faculty of Defectology of the Moscow State University (N=450; EG=100) are presented. The study was conducted in 2 stages, including the analysis of video recordings of samples of spontaneous speech and reading texts of varying complexity. The results obtained show the insufficient formation of language reflection and the difficulty of understanding the language norm by future speech therapists. The influence of the complexity of the text on the number and prevalence of errors in the reading test has been determined (with a significance of p<0,001 there are differences in the groups). Purposeful attention to their own speech and the speech of others, recording self-observations helped to increase the number of students who completed the tasks without errors (from 15% to 40%). At the same time, with a significance of p<0,001, it was revealed that students are better at detecting errors during self-control than testing others. The study proposes ways of improving the language reflection of the students for their better formation for working in an inclusive environment.
