Communicating
Reflecting
- Elaboration 11
- describing how it feels to use Auslan to communicate outside their inner
circle or school, or to watch Auslan being used by others, responding to prompts
such as What are the main differences you notice when observing a conversation
between deaf people and one between hearing people?
- reflecting on similarities and differences in language and communication
access, such as the extent of incidental learning acquired by hearing children
through interaction with their external environment, for example by overhearing
conversations or news on the radio
- reflecting on similarities and differences between signed language and spoken
language users when joining interactions, taking turns, using names, or passing
between people who are communicating with each other
- identifying and comparing how various emotions and different attitudes such as
respect, shyness, exuberance or embarrassment are expressed across different
languages and cultures
- reflecting on the experience of interacting with hearing people in various
domains online or face to face, such as after-school sports clubs, analysing
these experiences in terms of their own perceptions, understandings or attitudes
- reflecting on social attitudes and on their own reactions to observed
responses to differences in behaviours or communicative styles, such as their
feelings when hearing people fail to make eye contact with them during
interactions in the wider community
- reflecting on how their own ways of communicating may be interpreted when
interacting with hearing people, and on how they may need to modify elements of
their behaviour, such as the use of eye contact, facial expression or body
language, and to consider other communication strategies such as the use of
notes or gestures
