ENGLISH FOR STUDENTS WITH HEARING LOSS: MASTERING PRONOUNS AND POSSESSIVES THROUGH SYSTEMATIC TABLES AND REFLEX DRILLS.

On August 17, 2026, and August 19, 2026, within the framework of the collaborative research project between the Center for Research and Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (CED) and students from the Faculty of English Language Education, Saigon University, 12 students in the STEM class of CED took part in two specialized English sessions. The content of both sessions focused on consolidating and connecting four key grammatical areas: Object Pronouns, Possessive Nouns, Possessive Adjectives, and Possessive Pronouns.

To optimize visual acquisition and help hearing-impaired students develop a deep understanding of grammatical concepts, the instructors implemented scaffolding techniques combined with multi-round reflex drills:

● Systematizing with a 4-Column Reference Table: Guiding students to draw their own tables and memorize the logical order: Subject - Object - Possessive Adjective - Possessive Pronoun.

● Mastering Possessive Noun Rules ('s and '): Accurately differentiating the apostrophe placement for singular nouns, regular plural nouns ending in -s, and irregular plural nouns through relay games and the "Ben's and Anna's" team challenge.

● Formularizing the Transformation Rule (Possessive Adjectives → Possessive Pronouns): Visualizing how to replace nouns to avoid repetition using concise formulas, paired with reflex drill activities such as "Target Ball Toss" and card-matching exercises so students could confidently apply them in simple sentences.

Thanks to step-by-step guidance and continuous drilling, the students accurately completed the 4-column reference table in their notebooks and used the correct word forms in application exercises. During timed team activities on the board, they correctly applied the possessive punctuation rules ('s vs. ') and identified the proper positions of objects and possessive pronouns with high accuracy.
