Teaching of hearing-impaired students

This work considers the background and theory underpinning current developments in sign bilingual education and the implications for policy and developing classroom practice. Practical teaching strategies are suggested and evaluated. The authors draw on their own experience of working in sign bilingual settings as well as current good practice and relevant research. The book: describes sign bilingual education (beyond policy); supports sign bilingual practice dealing with current educational issues; draws together relevant research and practice in sign bilingual education; and presents practical strategies for teachers.
