LING 055. Bimodal-bilingual videobooks for deaf children

We will discuss the language needs of deaf children as they pertain to daily life and cognitive health. Then we will focus on language as a foundation for developing literacy skills, where promoting shared reading between hearing adults and deaf children is our major goal. We will work with deaf organizations around the world to produce bimodal-bilingual videobooks that will be offered free on the RISE website (risevideobooks.org). The course will be organized like an independent study, but with weekly meetings.
