Dyslexia is a learning disorder that manifests itself as a difficulty with listening, reading,
and spelling and in many cases particularly with English. Dyslexia is thought to be the result of a
neurological defect.
2. APHASIA: (Aphasu) (Inability to use or understand language (spoken or written) because of
a brain injury)
Experience of speech acquisition delays, and speech and language problems can be due
to problems processing and decoding auditory input prior to reproducing their own version of
speech, and may be observed as stuttering (hesitating), cluttering (confusing) or hesitant (shy)
speech.
STEPS TO BE TAKEN TO DEVELOP LISTENING:
The teacher may insist on Role-Play activities to practise effective development in
listening between the peer groups while this will tend to be an interesting pastime activity for
students. Listening to group activities is a vital attraction for the other students and here two
purposes are served. In addition to the development of the listening capacity of the students, the
student who presents a talk develops speaking skills and he remains a model for others to imitate
his speaking ways. Role play will help students listen and respond. Following are the steps to be
taken while doing Role play.
Step 1: One student may be asked to speak and the other may be the listener.
For five minutes the speaker may speak on the topic of his interest. The listener uses
efficient listening and makes proper responses back to the speaker.
Step 2: After his speech the speaker has to provide feedback for two minutes to
the listening partner on the effective listener skills used.
Step 3: When the speech and the feedback are over the student so far acted as the
listener may take the role of speaker and the former plays the role of listener.
This role-play activity will certainly be an attraction for the students as the participants
are from their own peer group and so there will be no anxiety and hesitation among the students
and the success is achieved when this activity is conducted regularly both in the class rooms in
the regular stipulated working hours or after the regular hours are over.
