Özet:

 


Nowadays, the significance of
foreign language education has increased and new teaching methods have been
developed. Until 1980s, the foreign language education of visually impaired
(VI) individuals was not provided effectively. The most important reason for
this was the belief that VI individuals were disadvantageous in learning foreign
languages. In recent years, studies in neuroscience have led to the conclusion
that VI individuals are not disadvantageous, but rather are more advantageous
than those sighted people. Experiments conducted in neuroscience showed that,
VI people have stronger verbal memory which contributes to their foreign
language education. With the changing understanding and the developing
technology, studies on foreign language education of VI individuals have gained
speed and thus progress has been made. In this study, it was aimed to provide a
literature review about pervasive studies in terms of foreign language
education of VI and give an idea to the researchers who are interested in this
subject. According to the literature review, it can be said that assistive
technology developed specifically for the target group contributes to their
foreign language education in terms of instantaneous access to information, individualized
instruction, and success.
