Today for ELT we learnt about the use of interpreters which allows deaf people to converse within the hearing world.
So what?
It made me realise how difficult it is for a deaf child to look at the interpreter all day and that they need to take a break.
Now what?
Practice doing an activity using ear plugs together with background sounds.
Strategies we use to get the other person to understand were getting in closer; speaking louder; making eye contact; using actions.
It is important to get student's attention before talking to them; learning to sign to make connections with deaf learners; ask them open-ended questions; learn sign language; integrating sign language into our programme and having an inclusive school environment.
