의사소통 회복전략이 고도난청 아동의 문장이해력에 미치는 효과

Effectiveness of Repair Strategies on the Sentence Comprehension in Child with Hearing Impairment

본 연구의 목적은 청력손실로 인한 청각장애아동의 의사소통을 원활하게 하기 위해 청각장애아동의 의사소통 파트너나 교사가 사용하는 의사소통 회복전략의 유형별 효과를 살피는 것이다. 청각장애아동 24명을 대상으로 의사소통 회복전략의 4가지 유형, 즉 반복전략, 간략화전략, 바꾸어 말하기 전략 및 핵심단어전략을 사용하여 문장이해력을 검사하였다. 그 결과, 의사소통 회복전략을 제시하기 전보다 의사소통 회복전략을 제시하였을 때, 문장이해력이 더욱 향상되었으며 전략별로 정반응률의 향상 정도를 살펴본 결과, 핵심단어전략이 가장 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of repair strategies for enhancing sentence comprehension abilities in hearing-impaired children. Twenty-four children (16 males, 8 females) with hearing impairment participated in this study. Each subject was assigned to one of the 4 repair strategies: (1) repetition, (2) simplification, (3) rephrasing, and (4) key word method. In case the subject failed to point the target picture containing the content of the suggested sentence, the examiner presented the assigned repair strategy and then repeated the original sentence. A t-test was performed to examine the significant differences between sentence com- prehension performances between with and without the repair strategy in question. Furthermore, one-way ANOVA and Tukey HDS were performed to find out the significant differences among the strategies and within the strategies. The results showed that all repair strategies were effective in improving performances on sentence comprehension tasks. The key word strategy was most effective in improving sentence comprehension in children with hearing impairment.
