Topic > Advantages and Disadvantages of Simultaneous Communication

Simultaneous communication, also known as Sim-com, is a form of communication process that uses both signs and sounds. Very often Sim-com has been called sign-supported speech; these signs are usually in English to ensure fluency in the language. In this, it is noted that some other nonverbal cues can be used such as the use of typing and visual aids that rhyme with the spoken language. Simultaneous communication has always been considered a form of communication intended to help hard of hearing (deaf) people understand what is being said. In this, one realizes that over the years Sim-com has been able to use other communication systems such as seeing essential English. Sim-com has demonstrated its beneficial use in both deaf and hearing people because it features both spoken and non-verbal language. Simultaneous speech is not only used by the deaf, but also when communicating with students at the preschool level. This is important because these children tend not to fully understand verbal communication (Beginnings, 2014). The origin and history of simultaneous communication is one of the most interesting phenomena in the world of communication. This is based on the fact that simultaneous communication essentially began as a channel to direct someone to something without the use of a particular language. In this way, simultaneous speech has become widely used in any communication process involving more than two languages ​​(Gaiba, 1998). Modern simultaneous interpretation is known to use sophisticated audio equipment to enhance communication, demonstrating the historical antecedents of simultaneous interpretation.
