Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study aimed to identify effective repair strategies for hearing impaired adolescents based on their language ability by studying differences in sentence comprehension. Various repair strategies were provided by a communication partner.
Methods: Se-lected participants used a 20-45 dB range hearing aid, primarily used spoken language, and were age 14 to 18. A high scoring group (N=18) and a low scoring group (N=18) were constructed according to language skills. This study investigated sentence comprehension using a sentence-picture matching task. When a communication breakdown occurred, a communication repair strategy?repetition, revision, or simplification?was provided by a communication partner.
Results: The results showed that the rate of correct sentence comprehension in the high group was significantly higher than in the low group. When the communication partner used the communication repair strategy, the correct rate increased significantly in both groups. Although the efficacy of each strategy was no different from the others within the high group, the simplification strategy was more effective than repetition or revision in the low group.
Conclusion: Repair strategies used by a communication partner have positive effects in improving communication breakdown. But there are differences in the usefulness of various repair strategies depending on the speaker's language skills.
