Teaching Styles in regular classroom


• Put the learners close to the teacher for better sound
reception and visual cues
• Be sure the light ,natural or artificial, falls on the
teacher’s face rather than behind
• Reduce classroom noise levels with wall hangings,
mats, ccurtains
• Get the learners attention before commencing taking
• Make use of the residual hearing by using
amplification
• Speak slowly, clearly and face to face with the learner
• Rephrase – especially if the learner does not
understand what was said.
• Write key words or outlines when shifting to a new
topic
• Seat or place the learner in a position with full visual
access to the teacher.
Communicating with learners who are profoundly/
totally deaf

• Enunciate clearly to support lip reading


• Utilize sign language / total communication – teach signs to the
whole class in Inclusive Education.
• Finger spelling
• Back up verbal communication with writing / typing
• Provide the learner with copies of instructions assignments,
summaries of discussions and key points
• Use body language, pantomime and natural gestures
• Prepare visual aids to supplement the lesson
• Use multi – sensory approaches
• Break up long sentences and instructions
• Choose simple words
• Repeat new words many times
• Assign a buddy for note sharing and discussion
• Have learners work in groups

Ideas
Reading
While reading a story to the class, show the book or prepare visual aids.
After the story, group the class into five (5).Give each group strips of
paper with the important details of the story. After five minutes or so,
let them arrange the strips according to the sequence of the story. Each
memberof the group will stand while holding the strip. The first group
to finish the sequence correctly will be declared the winner.
Music
Let the hearing impaired hold a stick or drum. While the other students
are singing a song, the child can beat the drum every four counts. The
teacher has to count showing his fingers for the child to follow. This
way, the child knows that when the teacher shows four fingers, he has
to beat the drum. After a week, the teacher may let the child beat the
drum at the second and fourth beats.
