Summary:
In this book, there is a plethora of information in regards to deaf education. Chapter eleven includes teaching and training techniques for deaf educators of elementary and preschool aged children. One method mentioned is the acoustic method. This method focuses on developing the auditory part of speech through feeling vibrations in voices recorded over music. The acoustic method includes two different parts: passive education, in which the student doesn’t consciously learn and active education, in which the student does different analytic exercises and synthetic to improve vowels, consonants, and syllables. Research shows that children improved in expressive communication, reading, class room interaction, and other areas of academics.
