Teruggi, Lilia A.; Gutiérrez-Cáceres, Rafaela – Deafness & Education International, 2016
In this study we explored the revision process and strategies implemented by deaf and hearing students who attend the same bilingual school context (LIS and Italian). For that we analysed and compared the types and quality of revisions made by deaf and hearing participants to their first draft of a narrative text ("Frog, Where Are You?")…
