Research Abstract

We examined the learning and the educational environment with ICT so as to utilize the findings of cognitive psychology to support students with visual impairments. In particular, we considered the perspective of working memory and learning support system used for foreign language learning for the blind. It was found that the ICT environment, especially in Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology, is effective in learning English for the visually impaired as a second language. However, there are many issues that need to be tackled in order to use the LMS, such as using course management systems, ensuring basic scholarship, improving skills for assistive technologies, and attempting to maintain motivation and involvement in such learning.
