Keywords:
deaf students, English language, teaching, technological toolsAbstract
A study of the impact that technological tools have on the activities of teaching the English language to deaf students is shown. The difficulties that this segment of the student population has in relation to the resources or materials available for the teaching-learning process of the English language, in addition to the difficulties they have in the development of these language skills. In this sense, the research adopted a mixed qualitative-quantitative approach. The objective was to diagnose the technological tools used in learning the English language in the EGB student of the Liceo "El Oasis", and analyze the results obtained through the application of data collection instruments designed based on the declared variables. The result was that the causes that make learning the English language difficult for students with hearing disabilities is demotivation, according to 50%, indicating that they cannot establish fluid communication. The main conclusion revolves around that the EducaPlay Educational Software can contribute to the development of the English language skills of students with hearing disabilities; but now, teachers do not know about this type of application. It must be considered that the case studied does not learn at the same pace as his peers.
