Abstract

Acoustic communication helps us understand language and social structures within and across species. Verbal communication in teaching and education is the most commonly used form. The features of speech, including its acoustic qualities such as tone and pitch, engender social interaction and aid the development of effective language and awareness. In contrast, the study of animal verbal communication helps understand the behavioral and cognitive mechanisms of non-human creatures. The analysis of animal sounds helps the researcher understand the behavioral social structure, complex patterns of emotional response, and communications used in pairing, and the use of space. This communication provides the foundation for the study, as the use of animal sounds enhances human communication and fosters education, providing the focal point for examining the use of sounds in education. Drawing on case studies and animal linguistics, this paper offers paradigms for analyzing human communication and demonstrates the foundation of formal education in language use. This work also investigates the incorporation of theories of acoustic communication into educational systems, focusing on pedagogy, tools for learning through listening, interspecies behavior, and the teaching of language. It integrates human and other animal communication, addressing the biology of language, language teaching, and pedagogy.
