Jamaican Deaf Children Interacting with Written Language: Support for Bilingual Instruction?

Hall, Winnifred M.

International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, v42 n1 p17-31 1995

Multilevel analyses compared performances of 12 deaf Jamaican adolescents (ages 15 and 16) and 12 hearing adolescents (ages 13 and 14) on writing, reading, and (for deaf subjects) sign language tasks. The deaf adolescents' ability to express complex ideas in sign language supported the need for use of a bilingual approach to the teaching of written language to deaf students. (Author/DB)
