Abstract

Rad se bavi testiranjem verbotonalne metode kod učenika uredna sluha, ali s problemima govorno-jezične prirode, a time se testira i njena učinkovitost u nastavi njemačkog jezika. Verbotonalna je metoda Petra Guberine osmišljena s ciljem razvoja i rehabilitacije slušanja i govora, ali se pokazala učinkovitom i u postizanju napretka govorno-jezičnih funkcija. Njezina se učinkovitost testira na slučaju učenika s poremećajem selektivni mutizam, koji je okarakteriziran nemogućnost govora u socijalnim situacijama, a spada u anksiozne poremećaje. Teorijski dio rada daje nam definiciju poremećaja te opisuje najvažnije simptome, najčešće komorbiditete te daje terapijski prikaz. Također, u teorijskom je dijelu opisana verbotonalna metoda i njene relevantne postavke u kontekstu rehabilitacije i učenja stranog jezika. Praktični dio sadrži prikaz testiranja verbotonalne metode, a fokus je na analizi šest audio snimki kojima se utvrdio napredak u izgovoru, leksičkom dosjećanju te sintaksi. U zadnjem, metodičkom dijelu prikazano je na koji se način učeniku sa selektivnim mutizmom može prilagoditi nastava prema postavkama verbotonalne metode. Iako učenik nije uspio dostići razinu svojih vršnjaka u pogledu govorno-jezičnog razvoja, analizom rezultata utvrđen je blaži, ali zamjetan napredak u obliku psihičkog i tjelesnog opuštanja, povećane zainteresiranosti i motivacije. Uočeno je i da je učenik postao funkcionalniji u jeziku, odnosno da je savladao nove konstrukcije i veći broj riječi što mu olakšava komunikaciju s drugima.

Abstract (english)

The paper deals with testing the verbotonal method in students with good hearing, but with problems of speech-language nature, and thus tests its effectiveness in teaching German. Petar Guberina's verbotonal method was designed with the aim of developing and rehabilitating listening and speech, but it also proved to be effective in achieving the progress of speech- language functions. Its effectiveness is tested in the case of students with selective mutism disorder, which is characterized by the inability to speak in social situations, and belongs to anxiety disorders. The theoretical part of the paper gives us a definition of the disorder and describes the most important symptoms, the most common comorbidities, and gives a therapeutic presentation. Also, the theoretical part describes the verbotonal method and its relevant settings in the context of rehabilitation and foreign language learning. The practical part contains a presentation of testing the verbotonal method, and the focus is on the analysis of six audio recordings which determined the progress in pronunciation, lexical recollection and syntax. In methodical part, it is shown how teaching a student with selective mutism can be adjusted according to the techniques of the verbotonal method. Although the student failed to reach the level of his peers in terms of speech and language development, the analysis of the results revealed milder but noticeable progress in the form of mental and physical relaxation, increased interest and motivation. It was also noticed that the student became more functional in the language, furthermore he mastered new constructions and a larger number of words, which makes it easier for him to communicate with others.
