  4. Why did I chose this topic? • I have always loved watching people sign to one another. • I needed elective credits to graduate and ASL was an option! • I would love to become a sign language interpreter.

  5. What is sign language? • The dominate language of the deaf community. Using mostly the hands, body and facial expressions to communicate. • It is NOT a universal language. It is used all over the world, but the signs vary from country to country. • There are different dialects and accents!!

  6. How did it start? • 1815 Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, a Protestant minister from Hartford, Conn. visited Dr. Mason Cogswell in Europe and was asked by Cogswell to investigate methods of teaching his daughter who was deaf. While in Europe he meet a student of the Royal Institution for the Deaf in Paris who was Laurent Clerc. Gallauget asked Clerc to come back to Conn. In 1817 the two men opened the Connecticut Asylum for the education and Instruction of Deaf and Dumb persons(now American School for the Deaf)

  7. American German • Est. 500,000-2 million use ASL as primary language. • Has been historically discouraged in schools for the deaf. • Some consider sign language to not even be a real language. • Regional accents • South signs slower than the North. • German sing language has only recently been recognized as a legitimate language. • 300,000 deaf/HOH with 80,000 deaf. (13-14 million people with hearing loss) • Varies in regions of Germany • Hamburg, Berlin, Munich and regions of former East Germany • Swiss –German (DeutschschweizerGebärdensprache) & Austrian (ÖsterreichischeGebärdensprache) Sign Language are both thought to be related to German Sign Language

  9. German Sign Language • 70 Schools for Deaf & Hard of Hearing in Germany. Each of the 16 federal states has their own educational system • Deaf students attend public or special school • Deaf & HOH individuals are present in public and scientific discussions • 2000 16 deaf and 12 HOH teachers in schools for hearing imparied. Makes up about 1% of teachers in these schools • Before 1980s SL was labeled as “Plaudern” (chatting)

  10. American Sign Language • Very similar to many European Sign Languages • Used primarily in America • Different regions have different signs • When asking a Y/N question, raised eyebrows • When asking Who question, lower eyebrows • Deaf Community • Deaf- Proud of deaf culture • deaf- hiding from world • 124 yrs Gallaudet President was hearing • Have to be very careful, many signs look similar • Coffee & Make Love

  11. Comparison • My name is Anna • I like the color pink • I learn German and Sign Language

  12. Interesting Facts • Admit when you don’t understand • Use terms Deaf or Hard of Hearing • Don’t assume all deaf people are good lipreaders • Don’t correct deaf’senglish skills • 10% deaf people have deaf parents • When watching someone sign it is appropriate to look at their face, not their hands. • Watching a signed conversation and not indicating you know sign language and talking without signing in the presence of a deaf person are considered rude.

  13. Do Don’t • Tap on shoulder • Wave with only one hand in front or to the side. • Stamp on the floor once, or several times • Quickly turn lights on & off once • Tap on head, face, chest, hips etc… • Wave with both arms (except emergency) • Stamp loudly in library or hospital with hearing people • Keep the lights off, or play with them in a public place

  14. Cochlear Implants • Is an implant that sits behind the ear and is surgically implanted under the skin • It is to help a person who is deaf or profoundly hard of hearing, and is nothing like a hearing aid • Using a cochlear implant is different than normal hearing and takes time to learn/relearn. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKJo-krJJNY
