ABSTRACT
This study investigated the use of communication strategies and dialogue sequence of children with and without mental retardation. The participants were 20 children with mental retardation(aged 5 to 7) and 13 normal children(aged 4 and 5). First, in relevance to communication strategies, the children with mental retardation used communication strategies less than normal children did. However, they seemed to use diverse patterns of communication strategies in the similar way. These results indicated that although the children with mental retardation could actually use communication strategies, they couldn’t use them appropriately. Second, in the analysis of the dialogue sequence, the children with mental retardation showed the dialogue sequence. As to the use of communication strategies, the critical problem of the children with mental retardation was not the frequency but the appropriateness. In conclusion, the findings indicate that although the children with mental retardation could produce communication strategies and the dialogue sequence, they failed to use appropriate communication strategies. Thus, in order to improve their skills of communication, we should provide opportunities to use communication strategies.
