A Midwest school district established a demonstration Total Communication Project. Its goal was for teachers to become consistent in their role modeling of English and American Sign Language (ASL). English was the primary language of the classroom and ASL was used as an intervention tool. There has been little research on the effectiveness of ASL in the classroom. By implementing an ASL intervention program this project is a first step in establishing an environment conducive to investigating the effectiveness of ASL intervention for teaching deaf students. This paper describes: (a) techniques used for identifying classroom situations that call for the use of ASL; (b) discourse situations that influence the use of different language codes in total communication classrooms; and (c) guidelines for code-switching between English and ASL.
中西部的一个学区设立了一个示范性的全沟通项目。其目标是让教师在使用英语和美国手语(ASL)进行示范时保持一致。英语是课堂的主要语言,而ASL被用作一种干预工具。关于ASL在课堂上的有效性的研究很少。通过实施ASL干预项目,该项目是建立一个有利于调查ASL干预对聋生教学有效性的环境的第一步。本文描述了:(a)用于识别需要使用ASL的课堂情况的技巧;(b)在全沟通课堂中影响不同语言代码使用的话语情境;以及(c)英语和ASL之间代码转换的指导方针。
