Course outline

What is the course about?

Explore how to improve your communication skills.

What topics will we cover?

Theory and practice of lipreading - study of visual clues to spoken English
Awareness of other relevant skills: memory, concentration, observation, etc
Awareness of rhythm, context, situation
Hearing loss, support services and equipment.

By the end of this course you should be able to:

Recognise which speech sounds/shapes are helpful and which are less helpful when lipreading; and which may cause confusions
Identify strategies/tactics that help to minimise difficulties and be able to share these with others
Update and share information relevant to adults with an acquired hearing loss.

What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?

You will have aquired hearing loss and use spoken English to communicate with others. A good vocabulary is an advantage. You should also have an awareness of the importance of looking at language in terms of sound rather than spelling.

How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?

A variety of teaching methods will be used in each session including structured exercises, drills, prose, role play, quizzes and practical work. Students will work in large groups, smaller groups and pairs. Information may be shared by means of handouts, demonstrations, discussions or invited speakers.

Are there any other costs? Is there anything I need to bring?

Please bring pen, notepad and A4 folder.

Do I need to have an interview before I can enrol?

Yes. Before you can enrol on this course, you need to have an advisory interview with the relevant department. Without this the enrolment team will be unable to process your enrolment. Please contact the department to arrange your interview, or to find out about drop-in sessions.

What feedback will I get?

You will receive regular feedback from your tutor throughout the course, as and when appropriate. At the end of the course you and your tutor are asked to assess the progress you have made.

How will I be able to give my views on the course?

There will be an opportunity to suggest additions and/or alterations to the content at the beginning of the course, to comment on the course at the end and to make suggestions for future courses or requests for information.

How do I find out if I can get some support for my learning?
