Hello everyone!
Does anyone know of any curriculum or resources that could be used to teach written English to deaf ESL students?
My name is Aaron, and I'm a US Peace Corps volunteer (Peace Corps) serving in Kazakhstan. One part of my job is to help locals with learning English. I've become very involved with a local organization which represents the rights of deaf people in Kazakhstan. I'm not deaf or hard of hearing myself, and I have no experience with any sign languages. I have learned enough RSL (Russian Sign Language) to have comfortable conversations with my students, but I'm at a total loss with how to approach the curriculum. Their longterm goal: to attain a level of English which allows them to converse with other deaf or hoh people across the world.
Cheers and thanks for the support!
