MAINTAINING SPEECH : A STUDY OF FACILITAION AND COMPENSATION
DEVICES
1.0 Introduction
Facilitation and Compensation Devices is the devices or ways which speakers use to ease
their speech production. There are many types of Facilitation and Compensation Devices
which will be discussed in the subheading below. This research paper is to study the
Facilitation and Compensation Devices used by the teachers during they conduct of English
class.
2.0 Facilitation And Compensation devices
2.1 Simplifying Structure
Sentence structure of speaking language tends to be shorter than written language. Teachers,
too, use such facilitation devices to shorten their spoken language when they conduct an
English class. For example, in Appendix I, Yes, I have but I dont use it.,I have video call
but I dont use it. The second speech is an example of simplifying structure.
2.2 Ellipsis
Ellipsis is omission of a few words from the sentence to make it a shorter sentence structure.
Ellipsis is used when the other party whom the speaker is speaking to , can understand the
content of the spoken language. For instance, Ok, lesson plan and all that for you can find in
the module, and then for the , ok, and then, then what you must have, more or less you
must have erm (taken from Appendix II). The complete sentence is, Ok, the whole
format for the lesson plan, you can go and find in the module. The examples of the activities
and the websites which you may use as references for your assignment you also can find it inthe module. Your assignment must include a website for your students to refer.
2.3 Formulaic Expressions
Formulaic Expressions are used to express agreement, disagreement, idioms,
conventionalized greetings, terms, phrasal verbs, etc. [Fernandez-Parra (n.d)]. Formulaic
expressions occurs in Appendix IV whereby the speech such as , Ok and in Appendix I as
well. Examples in Appendix I are, all right?, Okay.
2.4 Hesitation Devices

Hesitation devices are words where people would commonly used when they are trying to
think the next things to say or they try to recall the words to represent the meaning of their
own context. Examples of hesitation devices can be found in Appendix III, such as, um and
ah.
2.5 Reformulation
Reformulation is a device whereby the teacher corrects the mistake which has been made by
the students during speech production. Such devices intended to instill a habit in students to
correct themselves when the speaker himself or herself makes a grammatical mistake during
speaking. There are a few occurrences of reformulation in Appendix III such as harvester.
The example in Appendix III happens because the students could not pronounce the word
harvester properly.
2.6 Interjection
Interjection is another type of device which has no grammatical value but to express a certain
emotions. Individuals do use interjections when they speak. Examples of interjection found in
the transcription of Appendix I, such as, Eh, ah and huh.
2.7 Hedges
Hedges are devices that help the speaker to make a certain expectations to a degree of
accuracy. Hedges may also help the speaker during speech production by giving out ideas or
certain information that prove to be knowledgeable to the speaker. Examples of hedges are,
always remember (taken from Appendix III).
2.8 Use Of Mother Tongue
Mother tongue is the first language that are spoken by the speaker or the language that the
speaker is expose to since they are young. The examples of devices that occur during the
presentation are faham tak?, betul tak, (refers to Appendix I).
3.0 Analysis Of Transcription
3.1 Maximum Occurences Of Facilitation And Compensation Devices.
Formulaic expressions is one of the Facilitation and Compensation Deviceswhich occurs the
most in all 4 of the transcriptions. Such occurences increase because the educators would like

to confirm the input of knowledge being received by the students or to be sure that the
students understand what has been taught.
3.2 Minimum Occurences Of Facilitation And Compensation Devices
Simplifying structure is one of the Facilitation and Compensation Devices which occurs less
in a few of the transcriptions. This is because, during the presentation 2 of them are quite
longwinded. In Appendix I, the speech production used are short simple and easy to
understand.
3.3 Isolated Type Of Facilitation And Compensation Devices
The only isolated type of Facilitation and Compensation Devices in the 4 transcriptions is the
use of mother tongue in the presentation. The use of mother tongue in Appendix I is to make
sure the learners would understand the meaning intended to convey during the lesson.
3.4 Comparison Of Facilitation And Compensation Devices
Among the Facilitation and Compensation Devices, the formulaic expressions has occur most
of the time in 4 of the transcriptions. The simplifying structure element has only come up a
couple of times in the other transcriptions. Whereas the uses of mother tongue is the only
isolated devices used.
4.0 Conclusion
4.1 Why Does This Happen?
Based on the observation done onto those 4 transcriptions, Formulaic expression occurs the
most because the presenters wanted to make sure that their audience can understand what are
they presenting. Simplifying structure happens the least because the presenter wanted to
simplify the language and make the understanding easier for the audience. The use of mother
tongue takes place only in one transcription because the audience might not be able to
comprehend some of the meaning conveyed. Therefore, the presenter chooses to use mother
tongue in order to be able to send the message across.
4.2 How Does Facilitation And Compensation Devices Helps In Listening And Speaking?
Facilitation and Compensation Devices may contributes in speech production of an individual
because when we speak, we tend to overcome the limits of words omitted out per minute. To

be able to send a message across within a limited time, Facilitation and Compensation
Devices are used.
4.3 Recommendations And Suggestions To Improve Presentations
During the presentation, certain sentence structures are incomplete because the presenter uses
to many devices in their presentation. For instance, the transcription in Appendix II uses too
much ellipsis device. This could be a hindrance to those who are unprepared for the class.
The presenter need to be prepare before their class. He or she may written down the speech or
just to take a notes on what will be the discussion during the English class.

Teacher : They will go and conduct their research. They will go to the library but the point is
of the KWL worksheet will be more challenging for the students. Here, how you
can use the internet. But then, you have to do your homework first. You have to
monitor them and guide them. Otherwise, they will surf to the other internetwebsites. You know, they are just kids. But, um the website chosen must be
suitable for your students. The model is suitable, but, but
Student 2: They have their limitations.
Teacher : Yeah. Your question paper, does it you have to give another activity in task 1 b
right?
Student 2: Yeah.
Teacher : Meaning to say that not all are perfect.
Student 1: Yeah. But the internet for them is a learning instrument, but if for those who thinks
that the internet is a playing tool. Then, it will be different questions.
Teacher : Yeah. It depends a lot on how you equip your students. For, I think for your case,
you have more options isnt it?
Student 1: I dont provide them with such things.
Teacher : Yours, will be like helping them just to understand. You dont let them have the
internet.
Student 1: For like, Science students, for sure I cannot conduct the experiment. So I use the
internet to show them how the experiment is done. And they will observe the,
observe the experiment.
Teacher : So, ok. KWL is very simple. Give them a form of question. And they will ask
questions. And if you want them to be self-learners, meaning to be independent
learners. Like they ask the questions and they give the answers. Let them be self-
learners. So, for lesson plan, for Malaysia only la. For based reading teaching,
must be student oriented. Student-centred. Teacher-centred, out. Ok. So that where
it is. Skimming and scanning.
Student 2: Ok.

Ellipsis Ok, lesson plan and all that for you can
find in the module, and then for the ,
ok, and then, then what you must have,
more or less you must have erm
