Listening. Listening 0 (No Proficiency) No practical understanding of the spoken language. Understanding is limited to occasional isolated words with essentially no ability to comprehend communication. Listening 0+ (Memorized Proficiency) Sufficient comprehension to understand a number of memorized utterances in areas of immediate needs. Slight increase in utterance length understood but requires frequent long pauses between understood phrases and repeated requests on the listener's part for repetition. Understands with reasonable accuracy only when this involves short memorized utterances or formulae. Utterances understood are relatively short in length. Misunderstandings arise due to ignoring or inaccurately hearing sounds or word endings (both inflectional and non- inflectional), distorting the original meaning. Can understand only with difficulty even such people as teachers who
Listening. With compassion, discretion and respect I will reassure and support you through careful listening, seeking fully to understand your personal story and circumstances.
Listening. Listening for the deaf is speech reading/lip reading - a process of understanding spoken language through visual analysis of mouth and face movement. Usually effective only with significant residual hearing, it is extremely difficult and tiring, especially for those spoken languages that have similar mouth shapes (like English). Deaf students may use speech reading to supplement the visual sign language input, but rarely depend upon speech reading alone in communication. Good lightening is vital. Sign language Interpreters presence. Sign language interference: 🎬 there is no passive voice in sign language; 🎬 homonyms. For example HAVE – I have to go, I have a book, I have just finished it, I have had the flu. In sign language these uses of HAVE is signed differently. 🎬 Sign language are highly conceptual – there are different signs for “run off”, “run out”, “run around”, “run into”, “run against”… 🎬 sign languages tend to change the form of signs themselves to show grammatical relationships rather than to rely on sign order to show these relationships.
Listening. It is possible to lose the ability to hear within specific frequency ranges. As a result, no matter how loudly a sound is generated, it cannot be heard. All other sounds that fall outside of the damaged range can be heard well. Therefore students who are hard of hearing tend to depend upon amplification (hearing aids or assistive listening devices) and speech reading. Students with residual hearing have difficulty tracking where sound is coming from. Auditory comprehension is composed of the following four components:
1. Auditory memory – deaf children experience lack of auditory memory
2. Following one-step commands with one critical element – difficult
3. Auditory sequencing – impaired
Listening. Bioscope listens to and respects the value of the questions, beliefs and knowledge of its participants, partners and members of its team.
Listening. This is the ability to receive and interpret messages accurately in communication process. Listening is key to all effective communication and education. Without the ability to listen effectively, information are easily misunderstood, and learning is not achieved. As a result, students are expected to: Listen attentively to the teacher in the class Speak in class sessions only, when permitted to do so. Be audible when asking or answering questions in the class. Conduct yourself appropriately while working in a group, so as not to distractother groups. Avoid making noise or disrupting the class Speak in a low andnon-aggressive tone whenspeaking to others in between lessonsin order not to disturb lessons going on in other classes PUNCTUALITY

Listening. All students will listen actively to information from a variety of sources in a variety of situations.
Listening. A very interesting aspect of sonification that is mentioned in the ICAD report is the necessity of training and practice of skilled listeners, citing for example sonar operators, and assistive technologies for the blind. Yet “further research is needed into how performance with auditory displays changes with practice” (ICAD, 1997: 3.1.2). I note that this expert level of skill and the role of practice is reminiscent of a musician to their instrument or ensemble, and is a rare example of tuning into the sense of sound where it becomes intuitive and absorbed into ones reactions (I will expand on this idea in chapter seven on techno- intuition).
