Many schools for the deaf in the Philippines have recently been using Simultaneous Communication (Arevalo, Kusanagi, 1995). No research, however, regarding the description of teachers' utterances using this mode has been reported. This study investigated the correspondence between speech and signs relative to structure and the corollary correspondence of the messages conveyed by each channel.Videotaped for 10 to 30 minutes were six elementary teachers handling varied subjects. Transcribed utterances were analyzed by comparing the signed code with the spoken words to determine message accuracy and elements present in speech but deleted in the signed code or vice versa. Results reveal that teachers were able to produce approximately 40% perfect message correspondence, 31% similar messages and about 28% non correspondence messages. In terms of sentence structure, subjects were able to represent 35% of their utterances simultaneously in two modes. A total of 56.8% were partially executed in signs and speech while 7.8% were expressed in only one mode. The results indicate that there is a need for teachers to improve Simultaneous Communication ability to enable students to accurately receive learning experiences expected of elementary education.
