The Aural-Oral Approach in English Language Teaching
In English language teaching there are several approaches that can be applied in a classroom. Each one has purpose and gives concern to certain skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) development. One of these approaches is Aural-Oral Approach. The Aural-Oral Approach is based on developing two language skills: listening and after that speaking which is the earlier stage of learning a language (Geri, 1990). Aural means related to sense of hearing and oral related to verbal communication. Surely when the student is getting better in both listening and speaking they will reach communicative competence. Communicative competence refers to the level of language learning that enables language users to convey their message to others and to understand others’ messages within specific context (Hymes, 1972). Of course to reach this competence, both listening and speaking improvement is really needed. The Aural-Oral approach is very effective to be implemented in English Language Teaching in case to build communicative competence of student. It enhances listening and speaking also it increases new vocabulary for student. The aim of this essay is to give real imagine about how the Aural-Oral approach can be taught in or during English learning and give good improvement in both listening and speaking in order to reach student’s communicative competence. The first focus of Aural-Oral Approach is to teach English for student
Phonics instruction produces the greatest impact on children 's reading achievement when it begins in kindergarten or first grade. Systematic phonics instruction results in better growth in children 's ability to comprehend what they read than non-systematic or no phonics instruction. Phonics instruction is most effective when it begins in kindergarten or first grade.
Phonological and Phonemic Awareness Instruction are both important skills that have an important role in early literacy development. Children need to learn and understand both to become good readers. Phonemic awareness is words that are spoken and are composed by individual sounds. Phonological awareness is the awareness of the sound structure. Alphabet instruction is when young children practice the alphabet and they make discoveries.
PHONOLOGICAL AWARENESS SKILLS OF CHILDREN WITH COCHLEAR IMPLANT Shivraj L Bhimte : Shrikrushna Gawande Introduction : Earliest study in children with hearing impairment reported that, the average high school graduate who was deaf demonstrated a third-to-fourth grade reading level (Furth, 1966; Krose, Lotz, Puffer, & Osberger, 1986). Due to technological advancement recent studies now consistently report that, as a group, school-age children with Cochlear implant demonstrate reading comprehension scores that are near or within the average range compared with their hearing peers (i.e. within 1.5 standard deviations of the mean of their normal-hearing peers; Des Jardin, Ambrose, & Eisenberg, 2008; Geers & Hyes, 2011; Johnson & Goswami, 2010;
While traveling towards the path of seeping knowledge and analyzing critical ideals, we’ve become absent minded towards the components that gave us the ability to read. Since reading is always a part of our everyday routine, we have lost the idea that when it comes to learning how to read, we must start from the basics. From reading a case study, to reading a letter from a loved one, comprehension, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and oral language are the six essential components of reading. Before a child develops the ability to read, they begin to develop comprehension. Comprehension can be defined as the ability to understand.
Hi I’m Chanel and the question I am going to be answering is how and in what ways does language help or hinder our acquisition of knowledge. Before looking at the effect of language on the acquisition of knowledge, i 'll unpack the term “language” as a way of knowing. Language is a tool for people to communicate and it helps us to express feelings and transmit knowledge. There are different forms of language, and every single language all have both advantages and disadvantages.
Most occupations require some human interaction and communication, whether it be going to the bank, sitting through an interview, or even making a phone call. Sadly, many students have a fear of doing those things and offering a class to aid in the process of overcoming that fear would benefit them. The elective speech course offered only teaches students how to present speeches which doesn’t benefit most kids. A required communications course would examine different scenarios in life when proper communication skills would be necessary and teach the students how to handle those situations. By incorporating these real life scenarios, the students will learn how to adapt and prosper in the real world.
The most important concept to me for Module Eight is Active Listening. It is the most important because it is required to get a clear understanding of a conversation. If it is not used the speaker could feel the listener does not care and is uninterested in what they are saying. There was a time I was expressing to my supervisor that there were some concerns going on within my work center and how it will affect the mission. We were having a conversation, however he was not listening to what I was saying.
One relationship between oral language competencies and success in school is that a child’s language competencies develop in both receptive and expressive modes. While in the classroom, listening is a critical receptive language skill to teach young children because it is necessary to “receive language”. Their ability to listen and understand allows them to comprehend their teacher’s directions and helps contribute to their success in class. Another relationship between oral language competencies and success in school are a child’s social-interaction skills. When children develop oral language competencies, they become successful in communicating with their teachers and peers but, when a child demonstrates poor communicating skills,
Effective instruction is needed to be implemented in every content area. Not only would it be extremely helpful for ELLs, but also to students in general. ELL students have a lot going on when it comes to their education. Not only they have to learn the language, they also need to learn the different content areas in a different language. But that doesn’t mean that teachers should forget to teach them all the areas and only focus on what is going to be tested.
A STUDY FOR ANALYSING AUDITORY PROCESSING UPTO BRAINSTEM FUNCTIONING IN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY Introduction Hearing assessment is challenging task for audiologist , as children are unable to give information about hearing .The function of hearing becomes building stone upon which our integrate human communication system was constructed. Auditory acquisition of language is unique to human being because it is a time locked related to auditory maturation in human. Critical period exist for development of biological function and speech language.(chomsky966, lennenberg1967) Modern technology has increased greatly the number of option available to test hearing in infant and young children are more.
Effective listening skills are the capacity to effectively comprehend the facts given by the speaker and show enthusiasm for the theme which the speaker has talked about. It can likewise incorporate giving the speaker input, by making related inquiries so the speaker knows the message is gotten. Listening skills are an imperative piece of effective communication.

English is important to be learned in this globalization era. Learning English involves four main skills. The four skills are listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. Those skills have to be mastered by the students when they are learning English. “To teach those four skills, teachers have to use some methods that can give the chance to the students to be involved in teaching and learning process” ( Richard and Rodgers, 1998)
Introduction Though Francis Bacon did not make a mention of the importance of the art of listening, it is still the primary soft skill without which the other communication skills, namely, speaking, reading and writing, may not be effective and successful. Undoubtedly, listening occupies most of our time. However, listening is not the end of communication. Mere listening to the words of wisdom is of no use unless the listener is guided and benefited by them. Failure to communicate the message properly or effectively or failure to receive the message well may result in a communication gap.
Furthermore, in the society or in any social circle where young learners operate, the ability to speak and to listen is crucial in the development of their total personality and eventually social horizon. Children need to speak what they need, feel, and think to be addressed, helped, and understood. Good speaking and listening skills have benefits in one’s personal life which includes wider social circles, improved self-esteem and confidence, favorable academic work and more. In addition to these, Palmer (2014) mentioned in the introduction of his book, Teaching the Core Skills of Listening and Speaking, that making students listen a lot does not automatically make them good listeners, and occasionally making them speak in front of the class does not automatically make them good speakers.
According to Renukadevi (2014: 60) 45% of language competence is acquired from listening. Since listening plays such a vital role in language acquisition, it should also play a pivotal role in teaching strategies. This paper will critically discuss listening as an important component in teaching an additional language by examining the listening process and evaluating various teaching strategies. 1.
