Sign Language in the Language-Teaching Classroom

Sunday, October 12th, 2003, 1:30 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: Martin Pauly, Mariko Miyao, and Cecilia Ikeguchi

Deaf and hard-of-hearing students are entering regular mainstream schools and mainstream society. A knowledge of Sign Language may aid teachers and hearing students in communicating with, and for creating a more friendly environment for, these students. Three teachers, who are neither specialists in Deaf Education nor experts at Sign Language, will introduce the audience to a different language and a different culture and will demonstrate strategies for introducing Sign language into the classroom.
