This article explores effective methods for developing English speech skills in visually impaired students through the use of audio technologies. The rapid advancement of digital tools has opened new opportunities for inclusive education, making language learning more accessible for learners with visual impairments. Audio technologies such as screen readers, podcasts, audiobooks, text-to-speech software, and interactive listening apps play a crucial role in enhancing the listening and speaking competencies of these students. The study highlights the importance of creating a learner-centered environment where audio materials serve not only as supplementary resources but also as primary tools for improving pronunciation, vocabulary, intonation, and fluency.
