Teaching English Effectively to Blind Learners

Teaching EFL communicatively and effectively to blind nonnative learners is not an easy job, particularly when done by a visually impaired teacher. The book highlights a successful EFL teaching experience to blind learners by a blind teacher, explaining what the teacher did before, during, and after his successful teaching venture. The author was directly involved in this unique EFL teaching experience as he was the teacher's mentor, assistant and main observer throughout the whole experience. The subject of this book was the main topic of two successfully given presentations: one was given by both authors at TESOL International March 2012 in Philadelphia, PA, USA and the other was presented by the main author (R Gabriel)at TESOL International March 2013 in Dallas, TX, USA.
