Deaf Schools Without Sign Language — Possible, but Should We? (ft. Dr. J. Andrews) | #InTaiwanWeSpeak
Update: 2025-04-15
Description
Is sign language an afterthought, or the foundation of Deaf education? Dr. Jean Andrews walks us through different perspectives on Deaf education, making a strong case for the roles American Sign Language (ASL) and Taiwan Sign Language (TSL) should play in Deaf schools.
We explore the bilingual-bimodal model, ASL versus Signed English, and examine what Taiwan is getting right — and wrong — since recognising TSL as a national language in 2019.
