    COMMUNICATION BASICS Section 5 Communication Basics |Alberta Hands & Voices Parent Toolkit Communication Options: Speech? Sign? Both? What is Best for my Child? Making a Decision One of the most important decisions facing a family with a child who is Deaf or Hard of Hearing is choosing a communication method (also called a communication mode). Recently a parent told us she was terrified of making this “critical, life-long decision.” This parent also wanted to know what the current research says about the best method of communication for children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Decisions about communication modes are not No one method has been irreversible. We encourage families to remain scientifically proven to be open-minded and flexible. The needs of your best for all children. child, and your family, change over time. Some families start with speech and sign language and later change to using only sign language as their child’s strengths and preferences become more obvious. Other families start with speech only, and then add sign language when they realize their child is not making enough progress. Still others decide to use speech only, and stay with that decision over time. Remember the Alberta Hands & Voices mantra: whatever choice is best for your child makes that the right choice. As you think about how your family communicates now with your child and how you would like to communicate with him or her in the future, the best way to decide is to: ➢ be open to all communication modes ➢ ask questions 2 Communication Basics |Alberta Hands & Voices Parent Toolkit ➢ talk to adults who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing ➢ talk to other families with children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing; meet their children ➢ talk to professionals who know your child ➢ discuss, read, and obtain as much information as you can about the various methods What Current Research Does and Does Not Tell Us If you looked through scientific journals to try to determine what is the best communication method, you might soon find yourself feeling very confused.

The paper advocates use of a model communication and language policy designed to implement consistent linguistic input in the instruction of hearing-impaired students in total communication programs. The consistent use of a modified form of Signed English as the primary sign system and the use of American Sign Language as an intervention tool form the basis for establishing consistent linguistic input in the classroom. Following a rationale for adoption of such a policy, an appendix contains the communication and language policy that was developed for the Lansing (Michigan) School District's hearing-impaired programs. Two other appendixes describe the characteristics of modified signed English and provide a brief perspective of pidgin signs.

  • Signing Exact English: a Simultaneously Spoken and Signed Communication Option in Deaf Education
    2018; 3(2): 18–29 Signing Exact English: A Simultaneously Spoken and Signed Communication Option in Deaf Education Kabian Rendel, MS1 Jill Bargones, PhD1 Britnee Blake, MEd1 Barbara Luetke, PhD1 Deborah S. Stryker, PhD2 1Northwest School for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Children 2Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania, Education of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Abstract: Current reviews of the literature continue to demonstrate that even with modern assistive listening technology, many children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) have English language and literacy gaps compared to hearing peers (e.g., C. Mayer, 2016; C. Mayer & Trezek, 2018). For example, Geers, Tobey, Moog, and Brenner (2008) reported that “early cochlear implantation had a long-term positive impact on auditory and verbal development, but did not result in age-appropriate reading levels in high school for the majority of students” (p. S21). Given the continually-reported variability of results about language and reading outcomes for children with cochlear implants (e.g., Harris, 2016; C. Mayer & Trezek, 2018), alternative approaches for promoting better language and reading outcomes should be considered. Signing Exact English (S.E.E.), a system designed and demonstrated to encode grammatically-accurate English, is an option to support the development of speech, listening, English language, and literacy. In this article, S.E.E. as it is used in the United States, is contrasted with the many terms that have been used to describe the practice of simultaneously speaking and signing (e.g., total communication, simultaneous communication, sign supported speech, etc.). Research-based responses to common concerns about S.E.E.

  • Sign Language
    Sign Language Signed languages are visual-spatial languages used as the primary means of communication by communities of deaf people in various parts of the world. The Ethnologue index currently lists 114 Deaf Sign Languages throughout the world. Like any other language, a sign language requires a language community to develop and to be maintained. In many traditional societies, where deaf people live out their lives in the small communities in which they are born, there is not the "critical mass" of signers needed to create a true sign language. Instead, each deaf person develops an ad hoc sort of pidgin sign language to use with his or her relatives and neighbors. In Nicaragua, this was the situation until about fifteen years ago, when a residential school for the deaf was established in Managua. Within a few years of the establishment of this school, a full-fledged Nicaraguan sign language came into existence. Pinker discusses this briefly in chapter 2. A crucial indication that sign language is not just functionally equivalent to spoken language, but in some sense the same thing as far as the brain is concerned, comes from aphasia. Since the modality of input and output is so different in spoken and signed forms of language, we might expect them to be handled by very different parts of the brain, the former perhaps associated with control of the mouth and the processing of auditory signals, the latter with control of the hands and the processing of visual signals. But this is not the case. The correlations of neural damage location and aphasic symptoms in speaking and signing patients seem to be exactly the same.

  • 8 CHAPTER 2 the TEACHING of SIGNS 2.1 Introduction Concern For
    CHAPTER 2 THE TEACHING OF SIGNS 2.1 Introduction Concern for the use of signing by hearing parents to communicate with their Deaf children has been repeatedly expressed in the literature (Bornstein, 1990; Gregory et al., 1995; Mitchell & Karchmer, 2005). The inadequacy of an oral language alone for communication with the Deaf child whose primary mode of communication is signing, clearly suggests the need for a visual-gestural form of communication to be learned by the family. This is particularly important for children committed to an educational methodology that uses a signing approach. A contributing factor is that although Sign Languages have been in existence for many centuries, they have been studied and accepted only relatively recently (Stokoe, 1971; Lane et. al., 1996; Moores, 1996). There is therefore a paucity of information in the literature with regard to teaching hearing parents of Deaf children to sign. The unique characteristics of Sign Language require non-mainstream methods in teaching hearing individuals. These include taking cognisance of visual techniques and methods suited to learning a language in a visual modality (Thoutenhoofd, 2003), as well as the learning of Sign Language as a second language across modalities. The concept of learning language across modalities has been referred to as bilinguality (Von Tetzchner, Grove, Loncke, Barnett, Woll & Clibbens, 1996). Hearing individuals who are learning to sign need to observe signing in its natural medium of three-dimensional space and have the opportunity to practice in the context of observation rather than of listening. Whilst spoken languages are learned as second languages not only through interaction with speakers of the language, but also through support aids providing auditory input of the target language, Sign Languages rely on visual aids.

  • The Implementation of the Principles of Sign Bilingualism in a Self-Described Sign Bilingual Program: Implications for the Evaluation of Language Outcomes
    The implementation of the principles of sign bilingualism in a self-described sign bilingual program: Implications for the evaluation of language outcomes Trevor Johnston1, Gregory Leigh2, & Phil Foreman3 1Japan Australia Friendship Fellow in Sign Linguistics, Renwick College, Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, & Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Austral- ia. 2Assistant Chief Executive (Educational Services), Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children, & Associ- ate Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. 3Professor, Fac- ulty of Faculty of Education, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia 1 Introduction In the past two decades, ‘non-oral’ or ‘pro-signing’ approaches to the educa- tion of deaf children have increasingly described themselves as bilingual and bicultural (‘BiBi’) programs. There has been a shift away from Total Commu- nication programs and/or programs that use Manually Coded English (MCE) systems such as Seeing Essential English, Signing Exact English, and Signed English, as developed and used in North America; Sign Supported English in Britain; and Australasian Signed English in Australia and New Zealand (Jeanes, Reynolds, & Coleman, 1989). Some of these programs have been re- placed or succeeded by sign bilingual programs (as bilingual/bicultural pro- grams will be referred to in this paper) as educators have increasingly better understood native sign languages (or NSLs after Fischer, 1995) and their role in the linguistic development and education of deaf children. Educators have also increasingly recognized the structural limitations of English conveyed in a sign-based manual mode and the inherent deficiencies of Simultaneous Com- munication (the favored environment for MCEs), notably the conflict between signing and speaking at the same time while trying to maintain a natural rate of delivery (Baker, 1978; Drasgow & Paul, 1995).

  • Turn-Taking, Fingerspelling, and Contact in Signed Languages
    193062_02_Sofinski 9/3/02 1:42 PM Page 27 So, Why Do I Call This English? Bruce A. Sofinski For the last thirty years, the terms interpreting and transliterating have been used to identify two disciplines common to assessment and education within the broader field of sign language interpreting (Solow 1981; Frish- berg 1990). Historically, the various definitions of sign language inter- preting have included working between the languages of (spoken) English and American Sign Language, or ASL (Solow 1981; Colonomos 1992; Frishberg 1990; Stewart, Schein, and Cartwright 1998; Solow 2001; RID 2001). Until relatively recently, the various published definitions of translit- erating have agreed that the practitioner works between spoken English and some form of manually coded English, or MCE (Solow 1981; Frish- berg 1990). Although more recent definitions of transliterating have expanded that definition to include various elements of English and ASL, most definitions continue to posit that transliteration is a “word-for-sign” representation of English using manual communication in “English order” (Stewart, Schein, and Cartwright 1998; Solow 2001; Kelly 2001). Anecdotal accounts by many students, certified interpreters, and inter- preter educators indicate that, although this latter definition of transliter- ation is representative of the literature in the field, it does not accurately describe what many competent transliterators do. In other words, while many consumers prefer and many situations lend themselves to a more word-for-sign or literal rendition of the spoken English source message, many other consumers and situations still call for a product that many peo- This chapter was initiated as an independent study in the spring of 2000 as part of my graduate studies in linguistics at Gallaudet University.

  • An Introduction to Psycholinguistics Examines the Psychology of Language As It Relates to Learning, Mind and Brain As Well As to Aspects of Society and Culture
    0582505755_cover 5/10/05 8:00 am Page 1 PSYCHOLINGUISTICS AN INTRODUCTION TO General Editors: Geoffrey Leech and Mick Short An Introduction to Psycholinguistics examines the psychology of language as it relates to learning, mind and brain as well as to aspects of society and culture. How do we learn to speak and to understand speech? Is language unique to humans? Does language influence culture? Using non-technical language, and providing concrete examples, the authors explore: • How children learn to speak and read their native language • Deaf language education • Case studies of wild children and animals and what we can learn from these • Second language acquisition, second language teaching methods, and the problems associated with bilingualism • Language and the brain SECOND • The relationship between thought and language EDITION In this new edition the authors propose a radical new theory of grammar – natural grammar – which unlike other theories can account for both speech comprehension and speech production. Also taking into account the extensive growth in theory, research and practice, this new edition is an accessible and focused introduction to the key issues and the latest research in the field of psycholinguistics. Danny D. Steinberg is Professor Emeritus of Surugadai University and has previously taught at University of Hawaii and Rikkyo University. He is author of a number of books on semantic theory and psycholinguistics, including Semantics: An Interdisciplinary Reader in Philosophy, Linguistics and Psychology (with L. Jakobovits, 1971) and Psycholinguistics: Language, Mind and World (with H. Nagata and D. Aline, 2nd edition, 2000). Natalia V. Sciarini is an independent researcher, writer and translator, and works at the Research Services and Collections Department at Yale University.

Further reproduction of this article in violation of the copyright is prohibited. AUTHOR ABSTRACT Over the past 30 years, several Manual Codes on English have been developed in the United States. Unlike American Sign Language, which is a language independent of English, manual codes of English were designed to specifically reflect English and are signed in English word order. The first such system to appear during this time frame was Seeing Essential English (SEE I), developed by David Anthony, a deaf educator of the deaf. Today most educational programs for the deaf use Signing Exact English (SEE II) or Signed English and there is confusion about the nature and role of SEE I. This paper is designed to clear up some of the misconceptions that have grown up around SEE I, to provide some historical background about its development, and to review some research findings concerning its effectiveness. Concomitant with a move away from oral only education in the 1960s, several educators investigated the possibility of developing what have become known as manual codes on English (Stedt & Moores, 1990).
