Abstract:
Communication skills are very important in terms of conveying meaning in
everyday life through the right way. Deaf student who experience hearing
disorders, ranging from mild to severe, this has happened since they were born.
Deaf people require special treatment both in education and in everyday life. In
psycholinguistics, psycholinguistics in deaf education from the journal (Indah,
2018) which analyzes the transition of psycholinguistics in deaf education shows
a shift from the concept of "language disorders" to a focus on the potential impact
of lifelong language disorders or deficiencies. This study was conducted to
analyze the communication skills of teachers with students in psycholinguistic
learning and to obtain in-depth information about how teachers communicate with
deaf students at SLB-B Karya Murni Medan. This study is a qualitative study in
which researchers conducted interviews with 3 class teachers to obtain data in the
form of recording transcriptions. Data were taken from recordings, photo and
video documentation. Qualitative analysis of the research data shows that the
communication of teachers with deaf students from grades 7 to 9 has many
similarities to communicating with students at school. The teacher begins
communication by sitting in the middle in front of the students so that students
can focus on one teacher. and the teacher begins the conversation approach by
asking about their daily lives and after that starts KBM (Teaching and Learning
Activities)
