You would use the same techniques that are used to teach a hearing person who speaks a different language English. That is why Bi-Bi focuses on keeping the languages separate and not trying to make ASL more likeEnglish or English more like ASL. The child has 2 pure and accurate models of 2 different languages: a fluent ASL model and a fluent English model.
