Deaf and Multilingual: A Practical Guide to Teaching and Suporting Deaf Learners in Foreign Language Classes‪.‬

This book is about deaf people learning spoken/written foreign languages. To date there has been a dearth of information on this subject, and in that vacuum there has been a tendency to think that deaf learners should be steered away from foreign language learning. This book hopes to go some way towards filling the gap and correcting that impression. The book is written primarily for those teaching and providing communication support for deaf learners attending standard foreign language learning classes. It may also be of interest to deaf learners themselves, their parents, and those professionals who are involved in making decisions about curriculum content for deaf learners. Written in an accessible style, it offers practical no-nonsense guidance on accessible language teaching, curriculum and lesson planning, and acting as a support worker (interpreter, note-taker, lip-speaker, etc.) for deaf students in foreign language classes.
