The aim of this study was to understand deaf school teachers' consistency on utterance messages and morpheme semantic features under simultaneous communication in Taiwan. Seventeen deaf-school teachers (15 hearing and 2 deaf ) were chosen as subjects and they were interviewed and then videotaped twice for their daily teaching performance. Study results showed that (1)Teachers' semantic intact ratio ranging from 65% to 95% with a mean of 81%. (2)Teachers' utterance message equivalence match was low, ranging from 8% to 63% with a mean of 27. Besides, the ratio of teachers' ungrammatical messages in signed language channel ranged from 4% to 43% with a mean of 17%. (3)Teachers' morpheme mismatch types were mainly deletions, errors, substitutions, and additions. Teachers' most frequently omitted morphemes were verbs, adverbs, auxiliaries, pronouns, and nouns. (4)There was a positive correlation between years of teaching a speech/sign utterance equivalence percentage. Teachers' deletions rate had a negative correlation with semantic intact ratio, speech/sign utterance equivalence percentage, and sign-to-voice ratio. Teachers' speech/sign utterance equivalence percentage had a positive correlation with sign-to-voice ratio and semantic intact ratio. There was a positive correlation between teachers' morpheme deletions and teachers' speech rate. Based on research findings, the researcher suggested that special education authorities monitor deaf-school teachers' simultaneous communication performance so as to improve those teachers' sing language skills. |
