I have taught few students who strutter and stammer while giving answers in the class. I feel they do it mostly out of some kind of fear and lack of confidence. I avoid their stammerting and just concentrate on their answers.
What I have found is that gradually they build up confidence and the stammering problem lessens with the passing time.
It is important to remember that a person who stutters is interested in communicating just like everybody else, and would like to be treated just like any other person. Focus should be on the theme of the speaker, the information he/she is conveying, rather than how it is coming across.
A stutterer is only too aware of what his/her speech is like and that it can take longer to utter phrases. In fact, this awareness can sometimes make the stuttering worse. The stress of knowing that it takes longer to say something may make the stutterer try to speed up, which does not help.
It is important that the listener gives out a feeling (vibes) of patience, calm and peace. An impatient listener, or a listener who seems impatient, may make it harder for a stutterer to speak. Attempting to fill in the gaps (saying the missing words) is often an attempt to help out, but can be perceived by the stutterer as impatience.
Telling the stutterer to relax, or to take a deep breath, may have helpful intentions, but could stress him or her more (it may help some, though). Stuttering is not simple to overcome, and cannot usually be easily sorted out with a few deep breaths.
And it's always good to remmeber that nothing (not even stammering!) could prevent someone from being great; and below is a list of famous people who stammered:
I think that no problem as long as I understand them.Also , Iknow people who changed to speak normally.We just must be patientand we shouldn't let them feel that we are bored or upset.
I have to say that even with the previous knowledgeable answers and Mohamed's very impressive list!! The bottom line is that stuttering and stammering will undoubtedbly have an affect on someone's spoken language, that unfortunately is fact! The point I feel that we are all trying to make is that if you stutter or stammer it is not the end of the world, there are ways and means of overcoming or at very least, adapting these impediments as so many people have proven.
just raise their self confidence and they gona do a good job of learning as others
