摘要：The present study aims to develop an English-learning device for the hearing-impaired using UNITY 3D for smart phones. Despite the fact that a number of English learning tools are continually being developed in accordance with the improvement of digital devices, most learning tools are designed for those of normal hearing and thus it is challenging to employ them while teaching the hearing-impaired. For this reason, it is essential to develop learning tools for the hearing-impaired who usually rely on visual aids for their learning. Therefore, this study attempts to enhance the accuracy of learners' pronunciation by visualizing the motion of articulators in different angles through the application of UNITY 3D for smart phones, which has a great advantage of being highly portable. Furthermore, it is expected that this application can ultimately lead to self- initiated learning by piquing the interest of the learners.
