Challenges and prospects of teaching English to the children with low visual impairment in special schools of Dhaka

Abstract

The rate of dropping people with lower vision has decreased by 35% over 20 years according to the article of “The Business Standard ''. Though the rate is decreasing, the rate of educating these people is not increasing at the same speed. Because of not belonging to an enriched background, they are not being able to receive education. Besides, both parents and learners do not have much knowledge about educational institutes for children with lower visual impairments. Also the teachers face different challenges to teach their learners as this system of education is a bit different from the normal one. Because of being least promising topics in our Country to discuss, I have chosen this one to pursue my thesis. Again my paper will bring light to develop the system of education of the learners with lower visual impairments and not only this it would be beneficial to the teachers, policy makers and of course to the learners. To go on with this paper, qualitative method has been operated to know about the materials and activities which have been used to teach these learners. All this information has helped to enrich my paper with the information about the challenges and prospects of teaching the learners.
