Auditory-oral
schools teach children spoken language. Students in auditory-oral
schools rely on listening and lipreading to understand what is said
and rely
on speech to express themselves. The goal is for children to fully
participate in the mainstream.
Auditory-oral
schools address four spoken communication aspects: receptive
language, auditory perception, expressive language, and speech
production. Each day, teachers stress these aspects so they become
the core of children's communication systems.
People
are born with the instinct to develop a communication system based
on what they perceive around them. Children do not learn a language;
they develop their own language from surrounding input.
Normally
hearing children who have no significant language problems develop
spoken communication skills naturally by interacting with people who
serve as language models. Children who have hearing impairments have
difficulty processing spoken words. Because spoken language and
speech production are auditorily based, people with hearing
losses require more than just being exposed to a language model
to develop spoken language. Children must perceive input before the
brain can begin processing it and creating language.
Auditory-oral
schools bombard children with structured, systematic spoken
language to help them develop speech-based language systems.
Teachers interact with children and encourage them to make learning
meaningful, interactive, reinforcing, and interesting.
Auditory-oral
programs emphasize the use of residual hearing -
whatever
auditory or listening skills people have. Many cnildren with hearing
losses, even profound losses, can use their residual hearing and can
perceive some aspects of speech. When taught to use their residual
hearing, they can combine auditory information with visual
information from speakers' faces to understand what is said.
To
maximize residual hearing, children with hearing losses must receive
'ntenslve auditory training. They must learn to listen, and the
auditory skills lhey
learn in structured sessions must be carried over to more natural
situa- t'ons. Teachers must understand their students' auditory
potential to challenge each child to maximize his or her auditory
skills. Each child's auditory ability !s
different; teachers must understand and be sensitive to those
differences and avoid
frustrating students.
The
other two parts of spoken communication are expressive language
speech production. In auditory-oral programs, teachers stimulate
students r°ughout
each day to maximize their expressive language competence. Chil- ren
are encouragcd to say new words and to use syntactic structures.
Teachers
47Unit 9. Auditory-Oral Education
Text 1 Auditory-Oral Schools
continually
ask questions and prompt children to express themselves, and they
incorporate the language structures that children are striving to
achieve int0
those
questions and prompts.
The
other component of spoken communication is speech. Children jg
auditory-oral environments receive training to develop the best
speech of which they are capable. Developing speech skills is hard
work for people with hearing losses.
Teachers
also must make a commitment of time and effort. They must
be skilled
in speech development and in intervention strategies for less
structured environments to encourage students to produce the best
speech at all times. Speech production is paired with auditory
perception, when children listen for speech sounds (words, phrases,
intonation patterns, etc.) then are encouraged and taught how to
pronounce those sounds. This pairing of auditory perception and
speech production is natural because children with normal hearing
repeat and play with speech sounds based on sounds they hear.
In
auditory-oral programs, teachers incorporate language goals into all
academic settings, asking questions and eliciting language while
discussing academic concepts. Teachers listen to children's
utterances for language and speech errors and correct children as
appropriate in all situations. Teachers prompt specific language
structures throughout the day; when children can competently use a
structure, teachers build on that structure and develop more complex
structures.
