The Language-Learning Situation of Deaf Students.

Swisher, M. Virginia

TESOL Quarterly, v23 n2 p239-57 Jun 1989

The challenges faced by deaf students learning English are very different from those of English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) students. These differences include the amount of linguistic input, motivation, language attitudes, and the use of a visual-spatial language. (38 references) (Author/CB)
