INTEGRATION OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES INTO CHINESE LANGUAGE TEACHING FOR HEARING IMPAIRED STUDENTS

Abstract

The article observes the use of mobile technologies in teaching Chinese to hearing impaired students. The authors base their research on the principles of teaching foreign languages to the hearing impaired and the results of the analysis of mobile technologies that can implement these principles in teaching. The authors sequentially consider augmented and virtual reality technologies, tactile feedback technologies, social networking technologies, the use of Russian and Chinese sign language in Chinese language teaching, visual differentiation of phonetic phenomena, and illustratively prove that these principles and technologies can have a positive impact on the process of teaching Chinese to hard of hearing students. The authors also draw visualization, association formation and dynamic display of sign language to be applied in the methodology of teaching Chinese to hearing impaired learners. The presented data allow to conclude that the use of mobile technology can improve the effectiveness of Chinese language teaching for hearing impaired learners. The results of the study can be used in the development of methods of teaching Chinese to hard of hearing students.
