This paper illustrates the results of teaching English to students with hearing loss using a computer program developed for learners defined as either hard of hearing or deaf. The research takes place at one of the three specialized schools in Bulgaria - "Prof. Dr. Decho Denev" Special Secondary School with Kindergarten for Children with Hearing Loss, located in Sofia City. The software was utilized for one academic year by students ranging from sixteen to twenty-three years of age. The program includes two video screens; one for lip-reading English phrases and one for interpreting them into Bulgarian Sign language with sentences classified into topics and pictures representing each phrase.
