Abstract

Speaking and hearing play important role in communication and teaching individuals who lack these abilities will experience an uphill struggle. Thus, teaching mute and hard-of-hearing learners is a vocation to serve and a dedication of self.This case study explored the reasons, the struggles, the successes, and insights gained in teaching mute and hard-of-hearing students.It revealed that mute and hard-of-hearing learners had difficulty in learning a language because they had no sense of the language. Interestingly, the main participant learned that normal individuals should be thankful that they were given the gift of hearing and speaking.The role of a college which caters mute and hard-of-hearing learners is of great importance. The college needs to identify qualified teachers who have knowledge on the needs of the mute and hard-or-hearing learners to provide necessary equipment essential for the improvement of their learning; to abide by the state curriculum intended for these learners; to provide compassionate, friendly, and respectful learning environment.
