Hi, I think the blind person should listen as many things as she/he can with the help of headset or something like that. I would use youtube materials. Is he/she a starter? If the answer is yes, I would use songs ( like for kids) E.g. number song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HQotNnJo58 In my opinion , you need to have a lot of tasks to find appropriate videos ...hard work. I wish you loads of energy. :) Ági |

That is my thought, too. Provide her with a rich listening experience using audio books and podcasts. She can probably take part in pair work role plays with her classmates. Can you use tactile props in instruction? You probably google teaching blind students esl, as I have, but here is one result that may help https://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/article/teaching-english-blind-students
