What technique was adopted by miss sullivan to teach helen
Answers
Miss Sullivan deserves all the praise she received from Helen. She taught her with immense patience and love. She endured her initial stubbornness to her methodology. She devised unique and innovative methods to teach Helen the secrets of language, reading, speaking, imagination, and other mysteries of life. She was always there with her in her ups and downs. No doubt, Helen considered her teacher as her own inseparable part!
Miss Sullivan took unprecedented pains to teach Helen manual alphabet. Since
Helen was suffering from hearing as well as visual disabilities, Miss Sullivan
really had to work very hard to teach Helen the alphabet. In the 7 chapter,
Helen praises Miss Sullivan in the following words: "Thus I learned from
life itself. At the beginning I was only a mass of possibilities. It was my
teacher who unfolded and developed them. When she came, everything about me
breathed of love and joy and was full of meaning." It was Miss Sullivan's
genius, her sympathy, her loving tact and expert teaching skills which made the
first years of Helen's education so beautiful. Miss Sullivan made learning easy
and fun-filled for Helen.
Miss Sullivan preferred teaching Helen out of doors in close proximity with
nature . Miss Sullivan ensured Helen touched each and everything she learnt.
One of their favourite learning spots was Keller's Landing, an old wharf on the
Tennessee river, where Helen learnt Geography. There Helen made dams of
pebbles, islands and lakes, dug river beds while Miss Sullivan described the
physical and topographical features of the round world. Miss Sullivan would
describe to Helen the burning mountains, buried cities, moving rivers of ice,
etc. She made raised maps in the clay in relief so that Helen could feel the
mountain ridges, valleys, and the devious course of rivers.
The mystery of the language was revealed to Helen by Miss Sullivan. Miss
Sullivan was an expert teacher who was trained to teach the blind children.
However, she had to be very patient and innovative while teaching Helen as she
had hearing disability too. Miss Sullivan would often write the spelling of the
all the objects on Helen's hand after allowing her to touch them. For example
after giving her doll for a while, she would spell the word "d-o-l-l"
on her hand. Miss Sullivan had to face a great difficulty many times making
things clear to Helen. Once Helen got stuck at knowing the difference between
'water' and 'mug'. Miss Sullivan took Helen out; she put her hand under
the spout and let Helen feel the cool stream on one hand, and on her other hand
Miss Sullivan spelled the word "w-a-t-e-r". That living word awakened
her soul to the secret of learning words with their meanings.
