Let us, in the first place, focus on the findings the analysis of the transcriptions took us in terms of the learners:
The VILs varied in four main points, which are believed to shape their learning experience quite differently in terms
of the materials and techniques used. Firstly, they differed in their competence in Braille alphabet in English. While
S1 is a proficient user of Braille alphabet in English, S2 was not so skillful at it and preferred not use it at all while
learning English. Therefore; while S1 was provided with all the course materials and examinations in Braille
alphabet, S2 used the same course materials as his classmates. Another marked distinction is the fact that S2
suffered from 20% hearing loss in one of his ears, thus he was seated on the first row in the classroom and his
teachers were careful about staying close to him when giving instructions or speaking directly to him. These two
striking figures stood apart in the techniques they prefer while studying English. S1 stated that he preferred to study
by writing, whereas S2 mostly relied on listening despite his hearing loss. This dissimilarity in the techniques they
prefer confirms Kashdan& Barnes remarks on the significance of multisensory and multiple intelligence learning
processes while improving the learning opportunities of VILs (Kashdan and Barnes, 2002). The last variance arose
in the skills they mentioned as the most difficult to improve. While S1 labelled listening as the one he had most
difficulty in improving, S2 stated reading as the most demanding skill and also mentioned the difficulty he had in
learning vocabulary. He clarified that although he could grasp the meaning and the pronunciation of the new words
easily, he struggled in their spelling and often had to ask his teachers to spell the words. The differences the VILs
hold underline that there is no single technique that would fit to all VILs and it is the teachers’ task to identify the
strengths and weaknesses of these learners and vary their teaching accordingly.
