Challenges To Preschool Teachers In Learner’S Acquisition Of English As Language Of Learning And Teaching, Sandra Du Plessis, Brenda Louw Dec 2007

Challenges To Preschool Teachers In Learner’S Acquisition Of English As Language Of Learning And Teaching, Sandra Du Plessis, Brenda Louw

Brenda Louw

Multilingualism in classrooms is currently prompting debate and has significantly impacted on schooling in South Africa over the last d ecade. At present South African educators face the challenge of coping with and finding solutions to culturally and linguistically diverse urban school contexts which did not exist before. In many South African communities young learners, without any prior knowledge of English, are enrolled in English preschools. Preschool teachers have the dem anding task of preparing these m ultilingual preschoolers for formal schooling in English, and, in addition, are pressurised by p arents or caregivers who expect their children to be …

Use Of Psychometric-Function Slopes For Forward-Masked Tones To Investigate Cochlear Nonlinearity, Kim Schairer, Jessica Messersmith, Walt Jesteadt Dec 2007

Use Of Psychometric-Function Slopes For Forward-Masked Tones To Investigate Cochlear Nonlinearity, Kim Schairer, Jessica Messersmith, Walt Jesteadt

Kim S. Schairer

Effects of peripheral nonlinearity on psychometric functions for forward-masked tones demonstrated that cochlear nonlinearity is reflected in psychometric-function (PF) slopes for 4 kHz forward-masked tones. The goals of the current study were to use PF slopes to compare the degree of compression between signal frequencies of 0.25 and 4 kHz in listeners with normal hearing (LNH), and between LNH and listeners with cochlear hearing loss (LHL). Forward-masked thresholds were estimated in LNH and LHL using on- and off-frequency maskers and 0.25 and 4 kHz signals in three experiments. PFs were reconstructed from adaptive-procedure data for each subject in each condition. …
