    Sign Bilingual Education: Policy and Practice Ruth Swanwick and Susan Gregory Introduction Sign Bilingual Education: Definition, Philosophy and Policy Section 1 The context of the document Section 2 Policy into practice Section 3 Sign bilingual education in the UK Section 4 UK research into sign language and deaf education 1996-2006 Section 5 International perspectives on sign bilingual education Appendix Concepts in sign bilingual education Further reading and resources Introduction In 1998 the document ‘Sign bilingualism – a Model’ was published It was developed by Miranda Pickersgill and Susan Gregory, and many schools, services, universities and individuals contributed to and endorsed this original publication. It has been used largely as a policy reference document for sign bilingual education since that time. The model of sign bilingual education as presented in the 1998 document has evolved over the last 10 years as practice has developed and the educational context has changed. There have been a number of significant and diverse changes in deaf education including developments in sign language teaching and research, and a steady increase in the number of profoundly deaf children with cochlear implants. These changes have prompted a revision of the original document. This new document sets out to describe the current status of sign bilingual education. It is not intended as an academic publication, but rather a working document looking at sign bilingual education as it is practised. It differs from the last document in that it now draws on practice both in the UK and internationally, whereas the previous document was largely aspirational written at a time when sign bilingual education was only beginning.

  • Variation and Change in English Varieties of British Sign Languagei
    Variation and change in English varieties of BSL 1 Variation and change in English varieties of British Sign Languagei Adam Schembri, Rose Stamp, Jordan Fenlon and Kearsy Cormier British Sign Language (BSL) is the language used by the deaf community in the United Kingdom. In this chapter, we describe sociolinguistic variation and change in BSL varieties in England. This will show how factors that drive sociolinguistic variation and change in both spoken and signed language communities are broadly similar. Social factors include, for example, a signer’s age group, region of origin, gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status (e.g., Lucas, Valli & Bayley 2001). Linguistic factors include assimilation and co-articulation effects (e.g., Schembri et al. 2009; Fenlon et al. 2013). It should be noted, however, some factors involved in sociolinguistic variation in sign languages are distinctive. For example, phonological variation includes features, such as whether a sign is produced with one or two hands, which have no direct parallel in spoken language phonology. In addition, deaf signing communities are invariably minority communities embedded within larger majority communities whose languages are in another entirely different modality and which may have written systems, unlike sign languages. Some of the linguistic outcomes of this contact situation (such as the use of individual signs for letters to spell out written words on the hands, known as fingerspelling) are unique to such communities (Lucas & Valli 1992). This picture is further complicated by patterns of language transmission which see many deaf individuals acquiring sign languages as first languages at a much later age than hearing individuals (e.g., Cormier et al.

[SKANES] 1 Deaf Studies Through the Eyes of Anthropology By: Emily Skanes Dr. Wies Independent Study Eastern Kentucky University 2 [SKANES] Abstract For years, the Deaf community has struggled to achieve their language to be seen as a true language and to have empowerment. Research in anthropology has aided the community in this effort by answering questions like: Is Sign Language a real language, what is deaf culture, and how do deaf view their identity? The concepts discussed include: deaf community, culture, identity, membership, ethnicity, and deafness vs. Deafhood. This Literature analysis will identify the efforts previous studies have done and identify what questions still need to be addressed. This paper suggests that more ethnographic research should be conducted with the deaf culture. Introduction “Us verses Them” is the term that defines unity. The Deaf World is a community of people that united against the hearing world.

  • Intersections of Deaf History with Deaf Studies
    How the Past Informs the Present: Intersections of Deaf History with Deaf Studies Joseph J. Murray, Ph.D. & Brian H. Greenwald, Ph.D. Historians look to the past to understand people and society. Historian William H. McNeill, in a refection paper for the American His- torical Association, wrote: “Historical knowledge is no more and no less than carefully and critically constructed collective memory. As such it can both make us wiser in our public choices and more richly human in our pri- vate lives.”1 Human behavior is not static and historians track change over time to help understand how people act and think. What factors lead to change? How did things change? What is the result of this change? Perhaps there was an efort to resist change. What does this tell us about a group’s persistence? One value of studying history is a reafrmation of one’s identity. Te lessons we can learn from an individual or group efort’s to mobilize against an injustice or standing for one’s rights can teach us about values, courage, and morality. Citizenship is one of the most of cited examples for study- ing history, especially at educational institutions. Even those who seek to become naturalized citizens of this country needs to demonstrate some his- torical knowledge in order to demonstrate they can be good citizens. His- torians have the skills to identify and locate primary sources. How, for example, can we study war if we are living in peaceful times?2 Historians can use primary sources to help provide interpretations.

Relating BSL to Deaf Culture – the Language Recognition campaigns. 2. Brief history of Deaf Culture concept. 3. Its significance for SLPs. 4. Brief history of cultural rights. 5. Recent UNESCO cultural legislation. TITLE Ideally we would spend this time watching examples of Deaf cultures : - Sign language poetry and ‘sign-songs’ - Deaf film, TV - Deaf visual arts, theatre, cabaret, humour But we need to cover a lot of important ground today, so I will just give you a brief taster. WWWINSERT WWWS FOR POETRY AND BSLBT Sign Language Recognition Campaigns (1) Bencie has established the BSL background, so here I briefly mention a significant 21st century development - the global campaigns for official recognition of sign languages. X countries worldwide have focused on official recognition, and Y have achieved a degree of recognition. In the UK it is claimed that recognition was achieved 10 years ago this month. INSERT LINKS etc Sign Language Recognition Campaigns (2) However, many countries are still unclear about what recognition should mean. Others continue to meet with resistance to recognition. This comes not only from governmental bodies, but those who oppose the use of sign language in Deaf education, or who promote technological ‘solutions to deafness’ including eugenics. (Emery 2012) Other routes must therefore also be sought. These include cultural recognition, which I now focus on. History and significance of the Deaf Culture concept. Language Rights are beginning to be acknowledged. But very limited understanding of Deaf Culture concept, in both SLP and majority societies.
