Adapted materials for teaching english to blind and visually impaired students.
During the training process as future English teachers, it was possible to observe that
there are many challenges teachers have to face in the different classrooms they are assigned to
teach their classes. One of them was that in the English classes at Uniminuto, where students
with diverse abilities and regular ones attend to this course in a same classroom, it was hard for
students with visual difficulties to do the activities proposed for the classes. It was because the
book was an essential aspect in the classes and, as they have a visual limitation, they could not
follow the class in the same way as their sighted peers and, therefore, they were not able to do
the activities in the same way.
This research project was carried out with the aim of examining the contribution that
using adapted materials made to teaching English to blind and visually impaired students. In
order to know that, there were created some activities according to the topics that had to be
taught in the course and there were designed materials for all students that helped them develop
the activities proposed for the classes
