Practical Area II – Individualized Teaching – FIRST YEAR
Activities

i) Observation of Individualized Teaching Lesson (ITP)

It is expected that the trainees will get adequate information about Individualized
Teaching and demonstrations and explanations on their queries.
Trainees should be given the opportunity to observe the Individualized teaching
lessons in progress – 5 lessons - before they undertake the task themselves. USE
THE same format of Observation of the group lessons.
-Reports on observation

ii) Individualized Teaching

Trainee candidate will take 30 lessons with one child only and the child should
nd
preferably be from the preprimary section to 2 standard.
. • 5 lessons (any) supervised
. • 25 lessons unsupervised.

The pre-assessment of the child for Individualized teaching shall be carried out
under the supervision of an experienced trained teacher of the children with
hearing impairment. If the trainee for some reason is not able to handle a
particular child, she may take another one with the permission of the authority.
However, the same procedure will have to be repeated with the new child
including the required number of lessons. (She may take the advice of her guide
when required.)
st
In the 1 year’s final lesson, the T.C. will compare the child’s ‘pre-lessons and
post lessons’ performance, and give marks accordingly.

Please note:

Only one and the same child is to be taken for ITP for both the years.

Practical area III - Skill Development - FIRST YEAR Activities

Activities

1 Project work in grammar

(This is for improving the insight of the trainee-teacher into the grammar of the
language that the trainee is going to use for practice teaching and grammar in general.)
Areas of grammar to be studied by the trainees are:
a) Parts of speech b) Person number gender-concord c) Case markers & tenses d)
Auxiliary verbs e) Question forms f) Types of sentences, Negation, Active – passive
voice g) Degrees of comparison h) Case markers (The purpose of this project is to
develop the trainees’ competency in understanding the basic grammar of their
school/state language and be able to detect the deviancies / mistakes in the deaf child’s
language; and subsequently to think of and employ suitable strategies / techniques to
help the child internalize / acquire and use grammatically correct language through
teaching-learning in natural and contrived situations. The grammatical concepts are
described in simple terms in Paper VI, Unit 3 under 3.2.3 as a) b) c) d) e) f). (It is not for
the purpose of answering questions like “ How will you teach grammar to a deaf child ?”

(It may be treated as assignment for one theory paper.)

2 Basic skill development in :

1) Finger spelling (FS) - English one handed and two handed (for information only), and
Indian Manual Alphabet (IMA) for the Indian languages.
2) Indian Sign System -Total Communication (ISS-TC) – designed to represent the
spoken and written form of Indian languages. It is a manual representation of speech or
written text to the extent possible. It is also termed as Total Communication where each
and every word and word part is signed as it is spoken. In fact one must speak with
signing. Some signs are borrowed from the ISL.

3) Indian Sign Language -(ISL) - It is the language of the deaf communities in India, it is
a very neat practical form of language with its own vocabulary and grammar. It serves
the purpose of fast communication and transfer of information amongst the deaf and
with the persons who know sign language.
However it cannot be spoken or written.

(Note : Use of Auditory Verbal Approach, Aural-oral approach, reading

& writing, FS, ISS-TC or ISL by trainees, for teaching in classrooms, will depend
on the education policy of the model school.)
