Summary/Abstract: The interview concerns the challenges faced by Foreign Language Didactics in the field of teaching foreign languages to “extraordinary” learners – students with disabilities. The following topics are discussed: defining special educational needs, the therapeutic role of learning foreign languages in students with the non-harmonious development of communicative competences, advantages and disadvantages of the school language teaching system for students with disabilities, developing metacognition through the use of didactic dialogue on the example of reading skills. The conversation ends with a reflection on how to conduct research in the spirit of diversity and “ec-centricism” understood as looking beyond the horizon.
