Instructional Tips for 成人视频 Faculty and Staff:
- Speakers should face the class as much as possible while speaking clearly and audibly.
- Try avoiding to speak when writing on the board or while turned away from the class.
- Repeat questions asked and comments made by other students in order for the student to follow the discussion.
- Control discussions so only one person is speaking at a time.
- Ensure any verbal announcements (ex: class cancellation, re-scheduled classes, class activities/field work, assignment instructions, etc.) are provided in a written format.
- Utilize classroom sound system. If is in not in working order, contact for assistance.
- Keep background noises minimized as much as possible.
- Provide videos and PowerPoints with captioning. If not available, provide an outline or summary of the material.
- It can be helpful for the student if multimedia approaches for increased visual representation are incorporated into the lecture including whiteboards, projectors, charts and diagrams.
- Offer the student preferential seating near the front of the classroom. Some students may not wish to sit in the front, so be respectful of their choices.
- Allow students to record lectures or, preferably, make available copies of lecture notes prior to the class period.
- Students may utilize a note taker as an accommodation for the class.
- People who are hard of hearing may only be able to hear specific frequencies or sounds within a certain volume range and may use a combination of hearing aids, lip-reading and assistive listening devices such as Roger Pens.
- People who are deaf may have little or no speech and may use American Sign Language as their primary form of communication. Or they may use hearing aids and/or cochlear implants and spoken language to communicate or a combination of spoken language and sign language.
- Some students who use interpreters choose to have the interpreter voice for them, others may choose to use their own voices to communicate.
Working with An Interpreter:
- Some students may utilize sign language interpreters to facilitate communication
- Look at and speak directly to the student and not the interpreter when communicating.
- Speak at a normal rate (interpreter will ask you to slow down if needed).
- Allow the interpreter to sit or stand near you so the student is able to see both the interpreter and presenter.
- Because the interpreter will always be a few words behind you, it is helpful to allow for a few pauses between topics and main ideas so the student has a chance to ask questions.
- Interpreters may request class material ahead of a class period to allow them time to study the vocabulary and prepare for the lecture.
- If class is canceled, please notify the student who utilizes sign language interpreters as soon as possible to allow them time to cancel interpreters.
