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.
