6. Feedback from Teachers I think mixing with hearing students broadens deaf students’ learning opportunities, it gives hearing students more time to consolidate and understand as well The students learnt how to support each other and love each other Not only students’ spoken and sign language ability have progress, their comprehension and production improves too The programme promotes the classroom participation of the students
