A Personalized Case: Methods of Lecturing Sighted Students by Late-Blind Teacher
Yu, Sun; Chunlian, Li
International Journal of Special Education, v34 n1 p123-128 2019
Late-blind people, who adventitiously became blind in their adulthood, are a special group of the blind. Each of them has his/her own characteristics when returning to work. In this paper, methods on how late-blind teachers can effectively lecture sighted students are presented based on experience of authors with blindness. For late-blind teachers, only having the basic teaching skills as the sighted teachers is insufficient to lecture sighted students. They shall fully explore the knowledge and skills they acquired before their blindness. Much to be important, they have to take advantage of their physiological advantages (e.g., good sense of hearing and touching) and modern teaching tools (e.g., PowerPoint slides with voice navigation and screen reading software). With the accessible technology, the paper provides a specific case to describe the personalized teaching process in the rear of it. Through introducing an instance of micro-course about braille teaching (digit and part of English letter), the case takes a true reproduction that basically covers the entire teaching procedure. In fact, only in this way can the teaching tasks like lecturing and Q&A be accomplished smoothly.
