| Target |
Children who need to learn Japanese pronunciation for reasons of hearing impairment and/or other disabilities, and are in the early stages of learning to pronounce the consonants in the Japanese “ha” column (Kindergarten, Elementary, Lower Secondary, and Upper Secondary Departments: 3 to 17 year olds) Children who need to practice controlling breathing out |
|---|---|
| Disability category | deaf and hard of hearing speech and language disorder |
| Teaching units / Applicable scenes | activities for independent living |
| Specific purposes |
To enable children to: --learn the differences in the way of breathing out when pronouncing the consonants in “ha” and “fu” in the Japanese “ha” column --develop the ability to use different ways of breathing out: long/short, strong/weak --develop the ability to speak by breathing out in an efficient manner |
| Considerations for disability characteristics | Cellophane tends to curl due to difference in temperature between the top and bottom surface. The breath is warmer when pronouncing the consonant in “ha”, and colder when pronouncing the consonant in “fu”, with the curl of the cellophane depending on whether the breath is warm or cold. |
| Expected effects and results | Children are able to breathe out properly for the sounds of the respective consonants in “ha” and “fu.” |
| How to use | Cut the cellophane to an appropriate size (depending on the target, interest may be increased if the piece is cut into the shape of an animal or vehicle), place it on a dish or on the hand, and breathe on it. The teacher shows how the paper curls when the different breaths for the consonants in “ha” and “fu” are produced. Children practice producing similar breaths as the teacher. Note: when placed on the hand, the cellophane may curl due to body heat before being breathed on. |
