The key here is your voice (and the voice of your students). For other subjects however, engaging aural learners requires some tact and forethought. Auditory learners will be engaged from start to finish. If you’re a music teacher, you’re in luck.

How to engage an auditory and musical learner This strategy is key for keeping musical learners engaged in class lessons. Likes to talk to self / others / hum / singĪuditory learners might say words out loud or hum tones to better learn them.Possessing a ‘good ear’ for music and tones.Qualities often associated with auditory learners include: Auditory learners often have a high aptitude for distinguishing notes and tones in music and speech. Auditory and musical learnersĪuditory learners like to hear solutions and examples explained to them, and may gravitate towards music subjects and group learning as a way to understand information. Here we discuss strategies to improve engagement for students of each learning style. While most of us fall across the spectrum of each of these styles, facilitating lessons that are engaging on all levels will give your students the best chance of success. The key to good conversation is sharing – two people, both taking turns, talking and listening to each other.It’s generally accepted that there are seven different learning styles. A child will participate if it is about something they are doing, or are interested in. Talking is about listening and being actively involved in a meaningful conversation. It is equally as important for deaf children as it is for all children. Talking together is probably the most important way we can help children to learn. Interaction between an adult and a child is the way children learn to talk. Some find watching very helpful, whilst many children don’t need to look unless listening conditions are poor – that’s when we all need to look! They do not need to be told to watch your lips and will take that information as they require it.Īs they grow up, if they find watching helps them to understand, they will let us know. They will take information from your expression and the interest that you have in the activity, that you are both jointly involved in.
A child will look up to check you are attending as they feel it is necessary. They help to give meaning to what is being said.Ĭhildren learning to listen don’t always need to watch – to lip-read.
Our natural gestures and facial expressions are also an important part of our speaking. Normal speech is the easiest to hear, for deaf children too! Over articulation and slowed down speech for the deaf child, really makes it more difficult to hear.Ĭhildren learning to listen need to hear the normal sounds of speech. It should be quick and expressive with good intonation. Speaking with deaf children should be like speaking with other children who are of the same age. Fundamental to this is consideration to the quality of interaction, awareness of the acoustic environment, management of the equipment and recognition that the child is an active learner. The deaf child can learn to listen and talk in any place where a spoken language is the way people communicate. As they develop language naturally, in the same way as hearing children do, they have the potential to access and join in all the experiences of their hearing peers.įor deaf children to develop their hearing capacity to the full, they need to grow up and learn in a place where listening and talking are the normal way of life. Through the Natural Aural Approach, children can take their place in the hearing world. They will then have the opportunity to learn through listening in the same way as normally hearing children. With the technology available today (hearing aids including cochlear implants and BAHA) fitted and managed well and worn during all waking hours deaf children have a real chance to hear.
