Moreover, through case study, the exploration can be done by using “multiple sources of evidence” (Yin, 1984:23) or can be conducted “over time through detailed, in depth data collection involving multiple sources of information rich in context” (Cresswell, 1998: 61). That is to explore students’ skill in writing literary responses in English department of Indonesia University of Education. This study was chosen because it allows the researcher to investigate a phenomenon in single case or in “ a single instance of a class of objects or entities” (Nunan, 2000:79 Merriam, 1988: 36). 9Ģ2 A qualitative case study design was also employed in this research. There are some disadvantages including monolingual dictionary, one of disadvantages found by Thomson, he stated that monolingual is not effective for many learners in terms of rewards word choice.
Even, monolingual dictionary has many advantages. By those several consideration, it might proper to say that, monolingual dictionary is very beneficial tools in language learning because, it provide all of information that students need in acquiring language. Monolingual dictionary help students easier to understand about phonology, because monolingual dictionary has been completed by phonetic symbol that make students easier to pronounce some words correctly. 8 According the researcher experiences along his class activity, monolingual dictionary is benefit tools that helps students to increase their personal understanding by understanding word definitions that needed by student to understand context vocabulary that provide in academic journal. Information on grammar, collocations, and register of a word.
Therefore, the researcher explored the process and experiences of visually impaired students in learning English using electronic devices in inclusive education. The researcher chose narrative text to be a module theme because they learned it in all grades of Senior High Schools’ students. This study applied information technology that focuses on electronic devices (JAWS and MELDICT) as computer softwares were suitable to their characteristics in optimizing their sense of hearing. Media were used to support their learning. Therefore, teachers should facilitate them in learning.
Teachers who wanted to promote their students' independence needed to focus less on explaining various aspects of the language being learned and more on organizing learning activities that enabled students to take control of their own learning. Individual differences between students were a source of richness and diversity, not a problem.
All students could learn and benefit from education. Inclusive education was the current model in education that integrated the normal and visually impaired students to learn in the same class and curriculum in a regular school. The study also advocated on visually impaired students’ inherent rights to receive an education like the other normal students on the basis of equality of opportunity. The study was conducted especially in helping marginalized students, namely visually impaired students in learning English as unique phenomenon in education. This thesis aims to respond the current issue about current perspectives in education which emphasizes on the learners progress from being marginalized to be autonomous and empowered learners.
