- Summary:
-
Ten hearing impaired college students and 10 normal hearing students were given receptive speech discrimination tests in English, French, and Spanish. No significant differences between English and foreign language discrimination scores were found for the normal hearing Ss. The hearing impaired Ss had significantly lower discrimination scores for foreign language than English. Findings suggested that foreign language instruction should be modified to de-emphasize hearing and speaking components. It was also concluded that the difference in performance in foreign languages by hearing impaired students is not purely auditory, but stems from lack of higher level cognitive and semantic aspects.
