Riassunto

The development of literacy (reading and writing skills) is important for success in school and mainstream society. Some might argue, however, that literacy skills are not necessary for the development of literate thought (the ability to think critically and reflectively). This book provides some insights into the relationship between literacy and literate thought. In the first few chapters, readers are introduced to major perspectives on literacy, the role of teaching, deafness, research on both hearing and deaf students and the development of writing on these students. It continues with an overview of the major tenets of the literary critical perspective, an overview of the theory and research and teaching literacy to ESL students. The book winds down with reform assessment and the argument that educators need to consider alternative measures of achievement. All educators, but especially those with hearing-impaired students, deaf interpreters, and speech pathologists.

Product Description

This is the only available text that presents a comprehensive, balanced view of deafness and literacy. It provides many examples of instructional techniques and presents the theoretical and research rationale for such techniques. The text discusses literacy in light of clinical and cultural perspectives on deafness. Explanations of some of the major theoretical foundations of literacy and deafness are presented clearly and with detail; metatheories, theories, and research data are discussed in an accessible style. Coverage on reading and writing in English as a first and as a second language for hearing students and for students with severe to profound hearing impairment. The text also introduces students to the new, compelling ideas in literary critical fields, which are necessary for understanding the call for ASL / English bilingual programs and notions as empowerment, accessibility, and oppression as they relate to deaf individuals.
