Recommended: How using different sign languages in a classroom affects the learning of learners with hearing impairment

In this assignment will be about “How does Deaf communicate and what languages do they use to communicate?” Communication is vital for everybody in all situations such as home, schooling, socially and in the workplace. Many people are unable to communicate using words such as, hearing impaired. A language has been developed in Australia, which therefore it called Auslan, to enable the profoundly deaf to communicate with both the hearing and the non-hearing throughout their life; enabling them to participate in society and workplaces successfully. The main languages areas that will be looking into are eye contact, body languages/ facial expression, touching/ gaining attention and nodding. I have been a part of Cora Barclay Centre since I was …show more content…

Nod may includes: an understanding of the message rather than agreement, an understanding of the signs used rather than the information presented to acknowledge the person is paying attention to what is being signed or said, (Deaf Service, Queensland, 2015). Here some tips for when talking to a hearing impaired person: DO: ● Always speaking clearly with normal average voice not too low or too high ● Along speaking to them, make sure you always have their attention which this includes eye contact and face to face ● When talking as a group, always try to take turn when talking that way a Deaf person is not missing out too much information. ● If they do not understand from what being said for the first time, repeat it but try to re-phasing from what it have been said, so you not repeating everything ● Always make sure that they know what topic of conversation is about ● Always making sure that they understand what you have said before continuing the rest of the story, (Deaf First, …show more content…

From the result, it shows that 87.50% have said yes, they should have sign language as a subject at school. This sign language as second at school could be handy for non-hearing impaired not just for Deaf because they could use it any time such as body languages or even to communicate. From the survey , they have said:“ Always handy to know and useful too” and “ I learnt a little bit a sign- it was fun and I think it would be fun for others to learn, it may help them in years to come knowing this

In a larger group setting, it may be necessary to use paraphrasing and probing at the same time, when the opportunity is presented to asks

    While the benefits for the hearing are great, there are better benefits for those who are Deaf. Jarashow stated that it was essentially frowned upon if a Deaf child was using sign instead of trying to use what ability they had to hear. This seems counterproductive and if they emphasized more on teaching Deaf children ASL, there would be better outcomes for them in the future. Instead of focusing on trying to make everyone the same, they should focus on giving these children the best opportunity possible despite their

    If they see that you are confused they slow down and reword what they are trying to sign. Deaf people need an amount of personal space to be able to do arm movements that are required by some signs. Eye contact is important when signing so you have to avoid turning away, for it is considered rude. When in a group deaf people make sure to make eye contact with all the persons, they wait until someone is finished signing before responding, and if they need to make an comment they lift a finger or wave their hand. They do not hesitate to correct you when you sign something wrong and appreciate the effort of trying to communicate with them.

  • Deafness In The Book Seeing Voices, By Oliver Sacks

    1043 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the book Seeing Voices, the author describes the world of the deaf, which he explores with extreme passion. The book begins with the history of deaf people in the United States of America, the horrible ways in which they had been seen and treated, and their continuing struggle to gain hospitality in the hearing world. Seeing Voices also examines the visual language of the deaf, sign language, which is as expressive and as rich as any spoken language. This book covers a variety of topics in deaf studies, which includes sign language, the neurology of deafness, the treatment of Deaf American citizens in history, and the linguistic and social challenges that the deaf community face. In this book, Oliver Sacks does not view the deaf as people having a condition that can be treated, instead he sees the deaf more like a racial group. This book is divided into three parts. In the first part, Oliver Sacks states a strong case for sign language, saying it is in fact a complete language and that it is as comprehensive as English, French, Chinese, and any other spoken language. He also describes the unhappy story of oralism (this is the education of deaf students through oral language by using lip reading, speech, and mimicking the mouth shapes and breathing patterns of speech)) in deaf children’s education. In addition, the first part is about the history of deaf people as well as information about deafness. It also includes the author’s own introduction to the world of the deaf.

  • Narrative Essay On Deaf Culture

    670 Words  | 2 Pages

    I grew up as the only deaf person in my family with zero knowledge of deaf culture. I was naïve about the existence of the culture until I transferred to the Newton North High School in 2010 as junior year. The Newton North offered support for deaf students in mainstream classes. Before that, I was the only deaf student in a school. I used FM (Frequency Modulation) system that used to help me hear better with my hearing aid and had a paraprofessional for taking notes in classes. On the first day of being a junior, I was flabbergasted to see other students signing each other. For the first time, I was excited to meet them and realized I was not alone. For being a slow learner, it took a long patience for me to be able to interact and communicate with other students without pauses. After graduating from the Newton North, I went to RIT/NTID.

  • The Bilingual Model of Deaf Education

    According to Hutchison (2007), the pivotal moment in the early history of deaf education was the International Congress of the Education of the Deaf, which met in Milan in 1880. Prior to that time, sign language was widely used as the language of instruction in schools for the deaf around the world. At the Milan conference, leading educators passed several resolutions that effectively banned sign language from classrooms, stating the “incontestable superiority of speech over signs in restoring the deaf-mute to society, which gives him a fuller knowledge of language” (Hutchison, 2007, p. 481) and declaring that “the oral method should be preferred to that of signs in the education and instruction of deaf-mutes” (Hutchison, 2007, p. 481). Not only did the resolutions disallow the use of the na...

    My hope is that some day this language will have the appreciation and acceptance that is deserved. People will realize that we don't need to change the language at all; we can learn from this minority instead. Those people who think of deafness as a hearing impairment, should think of themselves as signing-impaired. Deaf people use their eyes instead of their ears. They substitute signs for words; they use what they have. Their attitudes reflect that they are proud of who they are, not ashamed of or disappointed in their deafness.
