Abstract

Some students in the basic stage suffer from language disorders as language disorders become one of the most common learning difficulties that affect the academic level of many basic stage students. Hence, this study aims to identify the language disorders experienced by basic stage students from the teachers’ point of view. This study depends on the quantitative approach to prepare the theoretical framework, build the study’s appropriate tool to apply, analyze and interpret the results. To achieve the goals of the study, a questionnaire was developed for data collection, and its sincerity and consistency was confirmed. The questionnaire consists of 25 items; the study sample consists of 148 basic stage female teachers from the city of Irbid, Al Wasatia District. To answer the study questions, the arithmetic mean and standard deviations for linguistic disorders were calculated, and the results of the study showed that respondents' perceptions of linguistic disorders items came with an average degree. While the results showed that there were no statistically significant differences among students in the level of language disturbances from teachers’ point of view due to variables of age, educational qualification and grade of study, the study, however, showed that there are statistically significant differences due to years of experience variable.

Highlights

  • Language acquisition is an important and fundamental issue during the first six years of a child’s life

  • This study observes that there is potential for future tension if no study verifies whether these basic students are influenced by speech disorders or language disorders

  • Despite that the basic stage students were characterized as having a linguistic impairment, it is important to explore the role of mental retardation, autism and cerebral palsy in linguistic disorders

Summary

Introduction

Language acquisition is an important and fundamental issue during the first six years of a child’s life. Stuttering main manifestations appear in the repetition of sounds and syllables, or pauses during a speech, or hesitations and confusion accompanied by secondary manifestations such as anxiety and frustration feelings, avoidance behaviours, reluctance and flight, and all the various physical movements that are observed by the listener and impede the flow of speech in its natural form in affecting the flexibility and smoothness of speeches. This disorder manifests itself in some situations that are accompanied by high levels of tension, especially the troubled social situations (Hallahan, Kuffman & Pullen, 2012). There is a need to provide detail account on the emergence of linguistic disorders among these basic students
