Bi-Bi: A Better Way to Educate the Deaf

In the United States, we are hearing speech, you use most of the single language learning fit the (speaking English) language focus on the spoken and written form of, and how to educate our nephew. By the Milan Conference held in 1880, we adopted the method of education for this hearing impaired. This conference is for those who support oralism in order to obtain the necessary support to ban the use of Sign Language in education. Their plan was successful; conference is not as good as the language in which the signature language is spoken, and decided that it was not possible to make the necessary learning (Lane, Hoffmeister and Bahan 61).

Once Baikal Chula call center of MJ Bienvenu, which was considered a pioneer of the enormous separation principle is currently focused on cooperation, it will build Bi-Bi (bilingual, bicultural) the foundation of the education movement. It is also an alternative to the "comprehensive communication" flow of hearing impaired education. "Complete communication" means talking and signing quickly, and it is difficult to do. Non-A.S.L. The verbal signature language based on grammar can be hardly understood. And the structure of English and A.S. L. It is completely different; you can not speak English anymore when you log in to A.S.L. When you write Chinese, you can speak English. In English, words are used in order; A. S. L. often uses words at the same time, or combines them into compound symbols. So, in A.S. L., The gesture may mean "he moved from the east coast to the west coast."

In the Bi-Bi, the children are encouraged to develop a logo as a first language "natural"; written English is taught as a second language, and many of the students the same and their listening opponent It seems that it is good at. (On average, the reading comprehension level of the high school graduate is a fourth grade.) This technique is acquired: The principal of Indiana deaf school, Eddy Laird first graduated. One of the people born. - Comprehensive. It is also used in schools in Gallaudet campus.

The Bi - Bi method also has disadvantages. First of all, it is not easy to obtain. In addition to focusing on boarding schools for hearing-impaired people, the teaching method of Bi-Bi is rare. In addition, few teachers have hearing impaired who can serve as "model" to meet the needs of the deaf community. The Bi - Bi method also brings a big challenge to the families parents hear. The signature may be difficult to learn, there is a possibility that it will be alienated at home. Clinicians realize that the outcome of educational methods used to promote learning and communication of hearing impaired children may vary depending on the type of family of children (Wiesel & Yosipor-Kaziar, 2005 ). In the 1970s, hearing impaired children with parents of the hearing impaired showed learning advantages in some aspects of social skills and cognitive skills such as social emotion adjustment, education, language skills It is shown. )
