The Art of Cueing

Nothing against cueing, but isn't the Computers and IT forum the wrong place for this?
 
Mod's Note:

Perfect! I will practice with my husband when he returns from work. He is moderately hoh so it will help him just as much. ;)

Yeah, I find it rather amusing that the title of this thread is "The Art of Cueing". CS is not an art, it is a skill. A skill that is lost when it isn't used because it is discovered not to be useful.

notice that bottom left is ASL. You can see how it's completely different from C.S.
 
Wow, it looks like its almost like another language. The video looks pretty old too... I can see the 80's and 90's dress style and that wacky music in there.
 
Absolutely!

Jiro- Indeed it is completely different from ASL. Cueing is the sounds of spoken English. Are you expecting it to be the same?? If so, why??

Thanks for providing the link. :)

Here is a more videos, that are more current for your perusal.

Not another language at all. Simply another mode of spoken English. And an outdated and rarely used on at that.

no problem and no I do not expect it to be same. Sorry but if you want my opinion - it is incredibly distracting, confusing, and oxymoronic. I don't know about you but I don't see many adult deafies using this. I wouldn't be surprised to hear about kids dropping CS for ASL as they grow up.

Jiro - Confusing - when a person hasn't learned the system to proficiency and with prosody aas the people in the video you posted, then yes it indeed would be confusing, definately right about that!

Distracting - if one simply is focusing on the lips to try and lip read and not cue read and lip read, , because one is not fluent with the system, then yes again, it would be distracting.

Oxymoronic - Can't grasp where you are coming from here. Can you expand on this one please.

Thanks.
 
I have a question. Who is CS supposed to benefit?

Why is it that when the very people it is intended to benefit say that it is not beneficial as a communication tool, that it is distracting and confusing, those hearing people that are attempting to sell it all over again can't understand that?
 
It seems oxymoronic to me because you (general "you") have a hearing disability... meaning you cannot hear well. so what's the point of CS when there is ASL which is a complete language (a much more reliable communication tool)? Why put so much unnecessary strain on trying to understand the talker via CS when you can easily communicate with ASL without headache? Why half-voice, half-sign?
