Abstract

ALQRAINI, Faisl M.. Using context clues to teach homographs to d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in Saudi Arabia. S. Afr. j. educ. [online]. 2021, vol.41, suppl.2, pp.1-10. ISSN 2076-3433.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15700/saje.v41ns2a2024.

Teaching a homograph by using context clues is more effective than just teaching vocabulary separately. The goal of the study reported on here was to teach 12 homographs to d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (d/Dhh) students in the sixth grade by applying metacognitive skills to understand the meanings and contexts in sentences. A single case design (multiple probe design across subjects) was employed to achieve the goal of this study with 2 profoundly deaf students in the sixth grade. From baseline to follow-up, the study was completed in 4 weeks. The results show that d/Dhh students encountered challenges in their understanding of the meanings through context.

Keywords : deaf and hard of hearing students; homographic words; metacognitive skills; reading comprehension.
