| Abstract | The BrailleNote Touch+ (BNT+) can be a valuable tool for students who are blind who are learning a second or third language. Kapperman, Koster, and Burman (2018) stressed the importance of using a screen reader, as well as a braille display, when learning a foreign language because it allows a student to not only orally learn the language but also leads to literacy in reading and writing the language. The authors have developed the practice report to describe the functions of the BNT+ that are important for using it as a tool to learn a second or third language. Keeping in mind the increasing use of assistive technology to aid students with visual impairments (i.e., those who are blind or have low vision) in accessing educational materials, the aim of our work was to contribute a way in which the BNT+ can aid in foreign language learning. The procedures described in the article are intended for teachers of students with visual impairments to configure the BNT+ so that a student can access foreign language textbooks; learn to read, and write, and speak, and understand a foreign language; and complete written exercises in the foreign language under study. Also included is information regarding how to configure a braille display in Spanish, French, and German as well as information on inputting special characters and punctuation in those languages.
