ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was intended to diagnose the problems of the structures of complex sentences and to find an appropriate guidance for teaching how to make sentences by examining the characteristics of connective ending use by semantic categories for the students with hearing impairment. For this, 40 students who are elementary 4th year, middle 1st year and high 1st year of school for the deaf were selected as subjects of this study, and 40 students who are from 2nd year to 4th year of a general elementary school were selected as comparison groups. After conducting tests for connective ending use, three subjects for the inquiry were chosen and analyzed. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was a statistically significant difference between the groups of normal students and hearing impaired students in the use of connective ending use. According to the analysis of the rankings of the accuracy rates, there was a little difference between two groups, but the correspondence of the overall rankings was acknowledged. In the analysis of difficulties of connective ending forms, there was no difference of the normal students’ accuracy rates but there was a significant difference of the hearing impaired students’. Second, there seemed a statistically significant difference in the semantic categorized ending use among the groups of the hearing impaired students by language levels. According to the results of the accuracy rates rankings, there seemed like similarities between high-level and the middle language skill groups, but there was a significant difference compared to the low- level language skill group. Lastly, there appeared no statistically significant differences of total accuracy rate by the groups of the hearing impaired students by ages but there seemed to be significant differences by the semantic categories. In the analysis of the rankings of the accuracy rates by semantic categories, there was a similarity in the groups between elementary and high school students but a difference in the group of the middle school students.
