Project description

Despite being a world-wide concern, there is a dearth of research regarding the linguistic development and education of newly immigrated d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) students. This group is educated without reliable information about their different written language, spoken language and sign language acquisition trajectories, language profiles, and school success. In addition, there is a significant gap in the training of their teachers, in language teaching pedagogy, and in the development of appropriate instructional materials. These problems we are addressing in the IDeALL project.
