Introduction Inclusive education views learner diversity as a strength that enriches the learning process, where differences in abilities, social backgrounds, and special educational needs are addressed through adaptive teaching strategies (Mbua, 2. Many reports regarding inclusive education have been well-documented (Table . Table 1.

Challenges, strategies, and future directions. In this context, literacy development is a critical component (Bayramalievna et al. , 2025. Vol. No. 3, 2025 Amalia. Purwanta. Purbani. Kharisma, & Mufidah Putri and Susilawati, 2025. Zukmadini et al. , 2024. Farokhah et al. , 2. , understood not only as the mechanical skills of reading and writing but also as a multidimensional competence encompassing linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and developmental aspects (Kalantzis and Cope. Kucer, 2015. Rowe and Weisleder, 2. In language education, literacy also involves the ability to use language for meaning-making, critical thinking, and intercultural interaction, which forms the foundation for lifelong learning. The multidimensional literacy model emphasizes that literacy is an interactive process shaped by language, meaning, experience, and sociocultural context (Kucer, 2. This perspective aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG. , which highlight the importance of inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Achieving SDG 4 requires teaching approaches that integrate language education into literacy instruction so that all learners, regardless of their needs, can achieve academic success and active social participation. Interactive communication plays an essential role in supporting this integration because it enables the exchange of meaning, the construction of understanding, and the connection of personal experiences to texts (Koul and Nayar, 2. For learners with special educational needs, adaptive strategies such as simplified language, extended wait time, and multimodal support have been shown to enhance engagement and comprehension (Zagona et al. , 2. However, many inclusive classrooms still rely on one-way delivery of content, limiting opportunities for holistic literacy development (Lazou and Tsinakos, 2. The purpose of this study is to identify the forms, adaptive strategies, and impacts of interactive communication in supporting the implementation of multidimensional literacy in inclusive elementary school settings. The novelty of this study lies in positioning interactive communication as a core pedagogical component that integrates language education and inclusive practice while producing a context-specific model in Indonesia that can serve as practical guidance for achieving SDG 4 through equitable and transformative literacy instruction. Literature review Conceptualizing interactive communication Interactive communication is a two-way communication process characterized by the active exchange of messages between two or more participants, in which each participant not only conveys messages but also responds, co-constructs meaning, and engages in ongoing negotiation within a social context (Abdullah, 2. In educational contexts, particularly in inclusive learning environments, interactive communication refers to the dialogic, participatory, and responsive communication that occurs between teachers and students . nd among student. , tailored to their individual needs (Lapidot-Leffler, 2. Table 2 identifies five key elements in an interactive communication strategy that are essential to support the implementation of multidimensional literacy. These elements include: . two-way communication, where both parties take turns as sender and receiver of messages (Soler. Rogers, 1. feedback as an immediate or delayed response to a message received (Bretz and Dimock, 1983. Vargas et al. , 2. active involvement that requires conscious participation in the dialogue process (Anderson, 1994. Cvetkovic, 2. socio-pragmatic aspects, namely the ability to understand social context and communicative intent in verbal and nonverbal forms (Vargas et al. , 2. control over content and media, which reflects the capacity of participants to manage or manipulate the form and content of communication media (Cvetkovic, 2019. Koolsra, 2. These five elements complement each other in creating dialogical, reflective, and contextual communication, thus becoming an important basis for developing holistic and future-oriented literacy.

Koolstra, the content and form of the communication The multidimensional literacy Multidimensional literacy, as conceptualized by literacy expert Kucer, suggests that for literacy instruction to be effective, it must be understood as dynamic, interconnected, and multidimensional (Kucer, 2. According to Kucer, literacy involves the integration of key dimensions, which aligns with AlexanderAos multidimensional perspective theory. Other scholars support the view that literacy requires synergy between key dimensions, including linguistic, cognitive, and social aspects. KucerAos multidimensional literacy framework offers a holistic perspective on literacy. Kucer argues that rather than adhering strictly to curriculum standards, the focus should be on activating various dimensions of literacy to make it more meaningful (Kucer. Schools need to recognize that they may not yet have a clear approach to addressing students' diverse literacy needs. Kucer emphasizes that effective literacy teaching begins with understanding the childAos cultural context. By incorporating the cultural . dimension, multidimensional literacy is expected to bring about positive change in addressing literacy challenges in inclusive schools (Pardo, 2004. Ferris, 2014. Kern, 2. The application of this approach is expected to improve the literacy skills of students with special needs. Multidimensional literacy offers a way to prevent the fragmentation of literacy into isolated disciplines, which could be detrimental if seen merely as a new Ausubject areaAy (Coelho. The strength of multidimensional literacy lies in the simplicity of its dimensions, which can be applied across various forms of literacy, avoiding the limitation of viewing literacy from a singular perspective. This approach aligns with elementary education, which emphasizes integration across disciplines (Sukartiningsih, 2. Multidimensional literacy, in essence, revives John DeweyAos idea of creating a continuity of experience between school and home. Such a literacy paradigm can be realized through the development of concrete learning models that explicitly help educators and stakeholders address literacy challenges in inclusive schools. Research method The research applied the qualitative case study. This qualitative research was conducted to explore in depth the practice of interactive communication in supporting the implementation of multidimensional literacy in inclusive classes. This approach was chosen because it allows researchers to understand contextually and holistically the phenomenon of communication between teachers and students in real learning situations in inclusive classes. Detailed information regarding this method is explained elsewhere (Susilawati et al. , 2. Vol. No. 3, 2025 Amalia. Purwanta. Purbani. Kharisma, & Mufidah In qualitative research, researchers have the autonomy to select participants who can be varied based on the depth of information needed and the nature of the investigation, ranging from one to twenty or more participants with justification (Subedi, 2. This research was conducted in one of the state-inclusive elementary schools in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Indonesia, with the following justifications: . implementing inclusive education, . having students with special needs integrated into regular classes, and . having teachers who actively implement literacy strategies in learning. Table 3 presents the profile of the participants involved in this study, consisting of a total of 20 individuals with diverse educational backgrounds. Participants included 2 classroom teachers, 3 students with special needs, and 15 regular students. This composition reflects the context of inclusive learning, allowing for the analysis of educational interactions between teachers, regular students, and students with special needs in heterogeneous classroom situations, which are relevant for the study of multidimensional literacy and interactive communication The main instrument in this study is the researcher himself, who acts as the key instrument, equipped with an observation guide, interview guide, and document analysis format. Data collection was carried out through . participatory observation, conducted for three months in literacy learning sessions that focused on verbal and nonverbal interactions between teachers and students, . semi-structured interviews, conducted with teachers and students to obtain data on perceptions and experiences related to Interactive communication practices during the learning process, . documentation, in the form of teacher diaries, student assignment portfolios, media and teaching materials used to support data triangulation.

Results This study found that interactive communication carried out by teachers in inclusive classes contributed significantly to the development of four dimensions of literacy according to Stephen Kucer: linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and developmental. The findings were categorized into three main themes: forms of interactive communication . adaptive communication strategies, and . their impact on students' literacy dimensions. Vol. No. 3, 2025 International Journal of Language Education Forms of interactive communication applied by teachers Observations during 8 learning sessions showed that teachers consistently used various forms of interactive communication, such as open-ended questions, paraphrasing, positive reinforcement, and two-way dialogue. Teachers also adjusted intonation, pauses, and the use of simple language when interacting with students with special needs. Table 4 summarizes five adaptive communication strategies teachers used to support student interactions in inclusive classrooms, with adjustments to diverse learning needs. These strategies included simplified language . , extended response time . , repetition and paraphrasing . , multimodal support . , and choice-based questioning . Each strategy was targeted to a specific group of students . uch as students with intellectual disabilities or communication delay. and supported multiple dimensions of literacy, including linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and developmental. Examples of classroom interactions demonstrate how these strategies enhanced comprehension, encouraged participation, and built meaningful literacy engagement for all students. Table 4.

Adaptive communication strategy in teacher-student interaction Teachers showed high flexibility in adjusting their speaking style to suit studentsAo For students with mild intellectual disabilities, teachers slow down their speaking tempo, simplify their sentences, and give students more wait time to respond. Meanwhile, for regular students, teachers encourage the exploration of ideas through open dialogue. Table 5 shows that teachers consistently implemented various forms of interactive communication in inclusive classrooms, such as open-ended questions, positive feedback, paraphrasing, use of visuals/gestures, and providing answer choices. The most frequently used strategy was open-ended questions . , followed by positive feedback . , paraphrasing . , providing answer choices . , and visuals/gestures .

The data show that P1, a regular student, experienced significant improvements in writing short narratives, answering inferential questions, relating stories to family experiences, and actively participating in discussions. P2, a student with mild intellectual disabilities, demonstrated a basic understanding of the text, used simple phrases, related stories to familiar places, and showed increased self-confidence. P3, who had mild concentration difficulties, experienced improvements in oral expression, understood simple storylines, began to share personal experiences, and showed a reduction in passive behavior.

Discussion The results of the study indicate that interactive communication strategies implemented by teachers in inclusive classes contribute significantly to the development of multidimensional literacy as formulated by Kucer . 4, 2. Linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and developmental dimensions develop simultaneously through meaningful interaction practices between teachers and students. Kucer . emphasized that literacy is a dynamic and multidimensional process, involving the integration of language, meaning, social context, and individual development. This finding is reinforced by the findings which emphasize the importance of active involvement and feedback in building shared meaning. In this study, the use of open-ended questions, paraphrasing, and simplified language enabled students, including those with special needs, to understand the text and participate in learning meaningfully (Anderson. Vargas et al. , 2. Following the interactive communication model of two-way communication and control over learning media are essential. Teachers in this study demonstrated flexibility by using multimodal strategies . isual, gesture, symbo. as which allowed students with communication Vol. No. 3, 2025 Amalia. Purwanta. Purbani. Kharisma, & Mufidah disabilities to still express their understanding (Soler-Adillon, 2021. Rogers,1995. Cvetkovic. Bretz and Dimock,1. This strategy also supports the socio-pragmatic aspect, namely understanding the purpose of communication in a social context (Vargas et al. , 2. Emphasized the importance of the degree of interactivity in communication, which is reflected in the provision of answer choices and additional waiting time by the teacher (Koolstra, 2. This supports students' cognitive engagement, that a holistic learning environment emphasizes adaptation to the individual needs of students (Koul and Nayar, 2. The emphasis on teacher responsiveness in communication practices is interactive communication does not only function as a medium for conveying information, but as an instrument for building student confidence, relationships, and empowerment in an inclusive environment (Abdullah, 2023. Lapidot-Leffler, 2. Finally, the critical immersive-triggered literacy theory is emphasizes the importance of emotional and experiential involvement in the literacy process. In this study, developmental dimensions such as increasing students' selfconfidence and self-expression are evidence that interactive communication supports learning that is not only cognitive, but also socially and affectively transformative (Lazou and Tsinako, 2. For further research, this study recommends strengthening teacher competencies in interactive communication strategies to support equitable multidimensional literacy in inclusive Further research can explore how these strategies are implemented in various student needs and diverse learning contexts. It is also important to examine how teacher education programs integrate interactive communication in inclusive pedagogy. In addition, student engagement and learning outcomes in response to adaptive communication techniques can provide valuable insights. Relevance to sustainable development goals (SDG. The findings of this study demonstrate that interactive communication strategies in inclusive classrooms directly support the realization of SDGs, which emphasize inclusive and equitable quality education and the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all. implementing adaptive communication techniques such as open-ended questioning, paraphrasing, visual cues, and choice-based responses, teachers created an equitable learning environment that enabled both regular students and those with special educational needs to actively participate in literacy learning. Students demonstrated measurable progress in linguistic, cognitive, sociocultural, and developmental dimensions, with improved sentence construction, contextual comprehension, personal experience integration, and self-confidence. These outcomes align with the SDG 4 target of ensuring that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including through inclusive pedagogical practices. The emphasis on language education within multidimensional literacy further reinforces the SDG principle that quality education must be accessible, relevant, and adaptable to diverse learning needs. Furthermore, the integration of interactive communication into classroom practice reflects the SDGsAo focus on reducing educational disparities. The strategies observed in this study not only addressed academic competencies but also supported social participation and emotional growth, which are crucial for holistic development in diverse educational contexts. This suggests that embedding interactive communication into teacher training programs could serve as a scalable approach for advancing SDG 4 in other inclusive learning environments. Finally, this adds new information regarding SDGs as reported elsewhere (Table . Vol. No. 3, 2025 International Journal of Language Education Table 7.
