I completely agree with what you're saying, although I can understand the opinions in the comments too.
I'm a hearing person aiming towards a degree in Deaf Education. I really don't like TC or anything like that, it seems really awkward compared to teaching in ASL. I will definitely look for a program that values ASL as the language of instruction.
But what are you supposed to do with a student who was Orally trained and doesn't know much ASL? I'm wondering your opinion.
Having a different philosophy is understandable, but a Deaf Ed degree doesn't automatically exclude all other forms of communication other than ASL...
(PS - Sorry for 2 comments, it was too long for one! LOL)
I know you're very pro-ASL and I share many of your view points from your VLOG's but you lost me on this one...
You studies Deaf Education. That does involve the use of Oral, CI, TC, BiBi, etc etc.
Now you may have a personal philosophy on how you prefer to communicate and how you believe works best for the students, but if a student is Orally trained they are no less deaf than any other Deaf person.
:-) I am still very pro-ASL. My point is to teach Deaf students with their first language. Some of hearing wouldn't do that but focus sole on speech. I will teach all Deaf students in ASL.
I could only pick out some signs. Was this video about teaching deaf to read lips? How different it is to teach hearing people vs deaf people? The more I watch the more I can figure it out. Thank you!
Hi there. No, not what I mean. I mean training to be a Deaf educator is to teach Deaf students in general subjects in education, not speech or hearing.
