Key word : challenges theaching, learning strategies, English language, Deaf and mute, SLB English language learning in Special Schools (SLB) has its own complexities, especially when teaching students with special needs such as deafness and speech impairment. Teachers at SLB face various unique challenges that differ from general English language learning, so special strategies are needed to ensure the learning process remains effective. This study aims to identify the challenges faced by teachers in teaching English to deaf and speech-impaired students, as well as to analyze the learning strategies applied to overcome these challenges. This study uses a qualitative approach with a multiple case study method conducted at SLB Negeri Sunbang and SLB-B Putra Harapan Bojonegoro. Data was collected through classroom observation, in-depth interviews with English teachers, and analysis of learning documents.The results of the study indicate that the main challenges faced by teachers include limitations in verbal communication, a lack of appropriate learning media, and difficulties in adapting learning materials. Strategies implemented by teachers include the use of sign language, engaging visual media, multisensory learning methods, and individualized approaches tailored to each student's characteristics. This study contributes to the development of more effective English language teaching methods for students with special needs at SLB.
