Abstract

This paper focuses on the question of the accessibility of foreign language teaching strategies, techniques and resources for students with visual impairment. The main teaching activities are examined from the point of view of their adaptation to the needs of visually impaired students in the mixed inclusive language classroom. The main purpose of this article is to explain the major difficulties blind and visually impaired students encounter in their language learning process and offer activities that are beneficial not only for students with sight loss but for all the other students in the group. The article is addressed to the foreign language teachers who are obliged to include blind or visually impaired students in their classes.
