Abstract
This article reported on a qualitative study which was conducted to identify the classroom interaction of students with hearing impairment. The sample of study consisted of twenty classrooms of students with hearing impairment of elementary and secondary level selected from four schools (government schools=2, private schools=2) from Lahore, Pakistan. The instrument of study was developed according to “Flander Interaction Analysis”. Observations were conducted in the selected classes. Data were analyzed through transcribing and coding on different measurement levels. It was found that there was a difference in nature of classroom interaction between government schools and private sector schools. Students were facing many difficulties in classroom interaction regarding modes of instruction used by teachers in Classrooms, teachers’ inability to use sign language, use of A.V. aids during instruction etc. It was recommended that nature of classroom interaction can be improved by making appropriate arrangements to meet the special needs of students with hearing impairment.
