THE ADJACENCY PAIRS ANALYSIS OF ENGLISH TEACHING AND LEARNING IN HEARING-IMPAIRMENT STUDENTS

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the components of adjacency pairs which appear in a conversation between an English teacher and hearing-impairment students in a special need classroom. Another aim is to find the dominance of English teacher in the special need classroom. Data are collected from a classroom observation, recording and transcribing their conversation during the teaching and learning activities in English classroom. Meanwhile, data analysis is carried out by identifying, analyzing and classifying based on Mc Charty’s theory of adjacency pairs., It is then found that there are 9 kinds of adjacency pairs committed from the interaction between English teachers and the hearing-impairment students as follows: (1) Compliment / Acceptance, (2) Information / Acknowledgement, (3) Greeting / Greeting, (4) Invitation / Acceptance, (5) Offer / Refusal, (6) Question / Answer, (7) Summons / Answer, (8) Accusation / Denial, (9) Offer / Acceptance. This study reveals a fact that various adjacency pairs occur in the special need classroom even though the teacher’s role is also quite powerful in the special need classroom. The finding of this study may become the reference for the teachers and practitioners who need deep understand toward characteristics of the special needs students especially for the impairment students.

The effects of hearing deficits on student self-perceptions of social belonging, difficulty at school, and self-image

<span>A paucity of research exists that examines how well hearing-impaired students function in the primary and secondary grades when attending a general education setting. The research that does exists to suggest that issues of poor self-perception, challenges regarding a sense of belonging, and self-image may be amplified for the non-hearing student. The current investigation examines the self-reported feelings of the hearing-impaired students relative to the student with no identified hearing difficulties. Results suggest that while social belonging may be a problem for the hearing-impaired students relative to their hearing peers, no differences were found on the responses associate with self-image or trouble at school.</span>

Avaliação de estudantes surdos e deficientes auditivos sob um novo paradigma: Enem em Libras

O artigo trata da necessidade, pertinência e legitimidade do desenvolvimento de instrumentos específicos em Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) e em Português como segunda língua para avaliar o desempenho de estudantes com surdez ou deficiência auditiva no âmbito do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem). Considera os debates da Comissão Assessora de Especialistas em Educação Especial nomeada pelo Inep acerca da legislação brasileira, das especificidades envolvidas na escolarização de surdos e dos desafios inerentes à necessidade de lhes garantir acessibilidade em exames de larga escala. Pondera que, mesmo com o apoio de intérpretes, submeter participantes com surdez que tenham Libras como primeira língua a uma prova escrita em português configura um quadro de acessibilidade insuficiente e representa uma quebra de isonomia. Além disso, uma vez que os cálculos das médias do Enem são feitos com base na Teoria da Resposta ao Item (TRI), a falta de acessibilidade compromete os parâmetros psicométricos do exame. Por isso, a oferta de provas devidamente traduzidas em Libras, disponibilizadas em vídeo, em formato digital e em computadores individualizados, demonstra ser, no estágio atual das discussões sobre acessibilidade, um meio justo, seguro e apropriado para assegurar direitos, equidade e isonomia ao exame. O Enem em Libras representa uma mudança de paradigma na avaliação de pessoas que têm a Libras como primeira língua, configurando um reconhecimento dos direitos linguísticos dessa população. Os resultados de sua aplicação precisarão ser conhecidos e devidamente analisados com vistas a garantir o aprimoramento contínuo da política de acessibilidade do exame.

Analysis of the Psychological State of Hearing-Impaired Students (Based on the Luscher Color Test and the Dembo-Rubinstein Technique)

Рассматривается актуальная для всего отечественного образования проблема инклюзивного обучения. Обучение студентов с ограниченными возможностями здоровья (ОВЗ) в высших учебных заведениях нашей страны становится нормой. Этот процесс требует значительных усилий от самих студентов, их родителей и преподавателей, ставит множество вопросов по организации контактных занятий и самостоятельной работы. Проблема освещается в ракурсе изучения психологического состояния слабослышащих и глухих студентов на первом курсе технического вуза. Психологический комфорт обучающихся и обучающих является одним из важнейших условий положительного результата в адаптации студентов к учебному процессу и усвоению учебного материала. Приводятся специфические черты обучения студентов с ОВЗ по слуху. Анализируются данные цветового теста М. Люшера и методики Т. Дембо-Рубинштейн «Диагностика уровня самооценки» в модификации А. М. Прихожан, полученные в течение первого года обучения в техническом вузе. Авторы приходят к выводу о наличии у большей части студентов учебной группы внутриличностных конфликтов, отмечают завышенный уровень притязаний. В целом психологическое состояние студентов с ОВЗ по слуху характеризуется как умеренный стресс, преодоление которого видится в развитии черт характера, выявленных в тестах.

The Effect of Interactive Mathematics Learning Media toward Mathematical Conceptual Understanding on Probability of Hearing-impaired Students

This study aimed at determining whether the Interactive Mathematics Learning Media (IMLM) has a positive effect on hearing-impaired students’ mathematical conceptual understanding (MCU) on probability. This research applied an experiment with post-test only control group design in which 36 students got involved. The intervention at the experimental group was learning assisted with IMLM. A descriptive approach of the qualitative phase was done toward some respondents which were selected purposively on the population. The MCU data was collected using an essay test. The MCU data were analyzed using one-tailed of t-test with the significance level of 5%. The result showed that using IMLM has a significant effect on students’ MCU. Students in the experimental group were more motivated, more involved in learning because IMLM has accommodated their special needs namely the principle of facial orientation and visual representation compared with those in the conventional learning.

Review of the Interactive Writing Lesson Provided for Turkish Hearing-Impaired University Students

When the literature about the writing expression of hearing-impaired students is reviewed, it is seen that there arestudies in which the effectiveness of several approaches and the writing process are analysed, assessment andevaluation aspects are considered and comparisons are made with the level of skills of non-impaired peers. On theother hand, there is a need for researches regarding the method of implementation of writing lessons. In this study, it isexplained how the pre-writing stage for the writing of a text is performed with hearing-impaired students throughInteractive Writing. The study, based on the action research method, was conducted during the Fall term of the2015-2016 academic year, at the Integrated School for the Handicapped of Anadolu University, located in Eskisehirprovince of Turkey. Participants of the study were seven hearing-impaired second-year students enrolled to theComputer Operating department. During the study, nine lessons were made based on the principles and components ofthe Balanced Literacy Instruction Approach (BLIA). Among the nine lessons, four of them were performed withinteractive writing. When the language skill levels of the hearing-impaired students group of the study was considered,Interactive Writing was determined to be the most effective writing component for the group. However, the mosteffective writing component can be different for another hearing-impaired student group. Writing levels of the students,the types and amount of support they need and their level of knowledge about the text to be written were decisive in thedetermination of writing components.
