| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed at investigating the impact of an EFL computer- based program on hearing- impaired pupils' reading and writing skills and their motivation towards learning English as a foreign language. The present study adopted the quasi - experimental design using a control group and an experimental group. The participants of the study were twenty pupils at first year prep stage at “Al Amal” governmental school for hearing impaired pupils in Mansoura. The researcher used a pre postreading test and a pre post writing test to determine the extent to which EFL hearing impaired prep pupils master the specified reading and writing sub-skills. The researcher used a motivation checklist to identify the level of motivation of EFL hearing impaired pupils towards learning English as a foreign language. Results indicate that the suggested computer-based program is effective in developing only some specific reading and writing skills. However, not all the specified reading and writing skills were developed. In addition, the suggested program is not effective in developing hearing impaired pupils’ motivation towards learning English as a foreign language. Key terms: Hearing impairment, motivation, computer-based program, reading, writing. | ||
