Teachers' use of simultaneous communication. Effects on the signed and spoken components.

We examined the correspondence between spoken and signed English when used simultaneously by teachers in Australia to determine whether the difficulties reported with other systematic sign systems are also relevant for the Australasian version. The teachers, all experienced in working with deaf students, were found to be more than 90% accurate in reproducing on their hands what they were saying, but at some cost to the oral aspects of the simultaneous communication. We also discuss the implications of the findings for the use of simultaneous communication with deaf students.

Conversational strategies of teachers using three methods of communication with deaf children.

Teacher control over conversations with deaf pupils using oral/aural only, signed English or cued speech communication, was related to pupil response, including taking initiative in conversations, misunderstanding the teacher, and length of contributions to the conversation. As teacher control over the conversation and repair of "wrong" contributions increased, pupil initiative and length of contribution decreased and misunderstanding of teachers increased. Different methods of teacher communication produced few differences in response; those that did occur mostly favored pupils of teachers using signed English. Few significant differences were found in the distribution of different types of conversational moves among teachers using the different methods of communication.

Enhancing parents' use of SEE-2. Progress and retention.

This study documented the changes in spoken and signed input of five hearing parents to their hearing-impaired children over a 12-month time period. Two baseline sessions per parent were videotaped and analyzed (Moeller & Luetke-Stahlman, 1990), and then two intervention sessions and one retention session were filmed. Parents were seen individually by one author of this study after each session and given feedback on specific characteristics of their communication abilities. Transcription sheets, graphs, and their child's IEP (Individual Educational Plan) objective were used to help parents target goals for improvement. All parents improved in at least one linguistic area of need, and several parents changed impressively in form, content, and use of Manually Coded English. These improvements allowed the parents to completely and consistently provide comprehensible messages to their children.

A method for transcribing signed and spoken language.

Transcribing sign communication used simultaneously with spoken English presents investigators with a unique problem: the singular quality of the bimodal communicative interactions cannot be accurately depicted using accepted conventions for recording either spoken or signed language samples. This article proposes guidelines for transcribing such data. The need for guidelines arose during an earlier study of the language development of a hearing child of deaf parents. To meet the immediate needs of that study, rules and conventions from previous studies were combined with newly generated ones, resulting in the guidelines proposed in this article. The guidelines can be applied to data in which intermodal linguistic influence is suspected.

When the same is different. A comparison of the information processing strategies of deaf and hearing people.

In this study, the information processing strategies of Gallaudet University students who are profoundly and prelingually deaf were evaluated. The subjects demonstrated the highest levels of recognition to the left and right of the fixation point, often referred to as a reading strategy when found in hearing people. Additionally, they demonstrated higher levels of recognition at positions in the top right quadrant of the display, a pattern not found in hearing people. A main effect was found: subjects whose primary and secondary school backgrounds were oral and manual combined had significantly higher levels of recognition overall than did subjects from oral-only educational backgrounds. Differences in background did not interact with strategy use in this study. These findings lead to the conclusion that the information processing strategies of deaf people need to be evaluated closely before general conclusions can be made. Alternative means for evaluating these types of findings are suggested.
