'Big words' often discourage students from learning, whereas easing them in with more simple terminology to explain new concepts will have a positive effect. Once the seed has been planted more complex terminology can be introduced.]]> 2017-10-18 21:03:16 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/198462647 Use Widgits and encourage learners to use their speech to recognise these. https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200152013 2017-10-24 18:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200152013 Encourage the learners at all times to use their language to help improve this. Allocate a learning support staff where necessary to do some work on a 1:1 basis to help build upon their language skills. https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200152778 2017-10-24 18:34:27 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200152778 use a variety of communication aids and methods, encourage the student to communicate using these at all time. Ensure the student has a way of communication and if the student is no verbal there is some form of documentation that will help staff to understand the student https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200153801 2017-10-24 18:36:33 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200153801 Avoid the use of idioms such as, "it's raining cats and dogs" as these can be taken literally when working with SEN students. May be bullet point what you want to say so that it chunks your language and stops you giving too many verbal instructions. https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200702169 2017-10-26 07:33:04 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200702169 Students way want to communicate in a preferred way, such as drawing a picture, drama, or writing something down. Don't force the student to communicate in a manner that they don't feel comfortable with (such as asking them to answer a question verbally in class) https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200702639 2017-10-26 07:35:08 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200702639 I have a speech impediment and have had it since I was 5 years old. Please give students enough time to answer and don't allow students to start talking just because we take our time getting our words out https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200702889 2017-10-26 07:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/c_hindmarsh/strategiesSLC/wish/200702889
