The Implementation of Teaching English for Students with Hearing Impairment (introduction)

hello!! this time i will review an journal to my blog the title" implementation of teaching english for students with hearing impairment"

After i read the jounal that i chose, i took this international journal because it was interesting and we had to learn more details about the problems in hearing when learning to use English.

Why i did choose this journal?

This journal is an interesting topic for us to review because most people think English is a difficult language to understand starting from listening, speaking, reading and writing. This is a unity in mastering English, the first step that we must attention to listening because for respond or create conversations in social life.

Introduction

English is the most promoted and universal language in the world. Brown (2000: 118) states that English has become a tool for international communication in transportation, commerce, banking, tourism, technology, diplomacy, and scientific research. In Indonesia, English as a foreign

language has a very important role in international communication. Primarily, it is for increasing the competitiveness of the nation toward the world. The importance of learning and mastering English language is intended for every student without exception. As we know, not all of the students are similar. There are some students who have special needs. It can be mentioned that there are

normal and exceptional students. Blackhurst and Berdine (1981: 9) define exceptional children as children who have physical, mental, behavioral, or sensory characteristics

that are different from the regular or majorityof children who require special education and

related services to develop their maximum capacity. For students with hearing impairment,

logically, they will get difficulties in listening skill and it can also bring the problem in speaking skill. Without neglecting the disability, listening and speaking are still the parts and very important skills in English language. Moreover, English is also tested in the national examination for exceptional

schools that obviously includes SLBB.
