NEW FOREIGN LANGUAGE TIPSHEET FOR BLIND AND LOW VISION STUDENTS

http://www.miusa.org/ncde/tipsheets/foreignlang#students-with-visual-impairments-1 .

The National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange collaboratively developed a new tipsheet on students who are blind and visually impaired learning foreign languages. It includes:

* Uses of assistive technologies and Braille in learning foreign languages and their capabilities in handling world languages
* How teachers can prepare for, adapt teaching styles, modify class activities, and provide accommodations to students who are blind or have low vision
* Issues particular to learning a foreign language that does not use the Roman/Latin alphabet
* Considerations for students who are blind or visually impaired in selecting different types of course structures, self-learning modules and foreign language programs overseas.

This information is part of a larger "Foreign Languages and Students with Learning, Vision and Hearing Disabilities" resource sheet online at: www.miusa.org/ncde/tipsheets/foreignlang .
