Abstract

Treatment for speech delay typically involves working with a speech-language pathologist (SLP) to develop an individualized plan for the child. The treatment plan will depend on the type and severity of the speech delay and may involve a combination of different approaches, such as: Articulation therapy, Language intervention therapy, Oral motor therapy, Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), and Play-based therapy. In addition to working with an SLP, parents can also play an important role in the treatment of speech delay by practicing speech and language activities at home with their child. It's important to work closely with the SLP to ensure that the child receives appropriate and effective treatment for their specific needs.

Abstract

This thesis is entitled E-Learning and Conventional Learning of Literal Reading. The aim of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference between students taught using the E-Learning model and students taught using the Conventional learning model to teach the Literal Reading course in the second semester at the Nurul Huda University. In this research the author used a descriptive-comparative method with a qualitative approach. The E-Learning model makes students more active compared to conventional learning models. In the E-Learning model, lectures only help students learn. In this case, a student spends more time studying alone. However, in the conventional learning model, lecturers must explain the entire course content to students. Therefore, the E-Learning model provides more quality to students than conventional learning models. It can be concluded that the E-Learning model has advantages compared to conventional learning models. Aside from that, e-learning is more affordable, adaptable, and dynamic than traditional learning approaches. Therefore, as compared to traditional learning models, e-learning provides pupils with a higher quality education.
