There is no need to post the entire study, that would take up unecessary bandwidth. As far as bilingual/bicultural--that specific program according to the paper, doesn't exist. It is simply ASL/English bilingual. I'm not trying to say it doesn't work, I'm only saying that the information that I...

Sorry jillio, but I think you should have added this information in your previous post in order to place it in the correct context. The way it has been presented in the post is slightly misleading. With that being said, I would like to add this from the paper that jillio previously quoted...

Thanks

The ability to earn three doctorates is impressive but not uncommon in the scientific community. However, I have some burning questions that don't seem to be answered such as; 1) creationism was once accepted as the truth however, in light of scientific discoveries has been replaced by...

My point was not to debate whether hearing parents can improve their ASL, my point was that the vast majority of them do not have adequate fluency. This is detrimental to the child if ASL is the route that the parents choose. Therefore, the overall focus is actually on the child, not the...

I missed that part. :ty: Still, if that is truely what happened, it needs to be addressed.

I'm sorry, but that's what the various collleges of Physicians and Surgeons are for. If you have a complaint against a doctor, bring it to their attention. They will deal with it as appropriate and the complaintant will have full knowledge of the proceedings and will have the ability to complain...

Science's job is not to prove anything. As a matter of fact, science's main objective is to disprove various assumptions or hypotheses. These hypotheses are tested in a controlled environment and if they stand the test of time they are accepted. Scientists actually accept the fact that gravity...

If you read what I said carefully, I said that : That statement is consistent with the findings in the paper you suggested. Even in that paper, over half of the children in the study who had hearing parents, had low levels of ASL fluency (8-11 years)-21 out of the 41 students. Though fluency...

From what I have read regarding CS, each consonant handshape represents a group of consonant phonemes, within that one group, each phoneme has a distinct mouthshape. So, that one hand shape can only represent in conjunction with the mouth shape, one sound, which is part of the word. The same...

Maybe you could be so kind as to give me a couple names of papers that show that poor ASL skills lead to good English. I would be interested to see how that works. How is using CS to teach or communicate in English, and using ASL to teach or communicate in ASL redundant?

but this is what you said before: You've got me confused. There still isn't anything in the CS literature that says that ASL can't be learned or used as a method of communication. They are only promoting CS as the mode of communication in English. Why is that a problem?

I have never actually said what I think personally, no one has ever asked. I am simply asking questions because some of the answers I am getting are condtradicting each other. I never actually stated that I personally think that ASL isn't good for literacy. I was only trying to point out...

Where did it say that CS had to be the only method of communication?? I've been trying to read everything that has been posted in it's entirety, (by the way, thanks for the articles, I'm slowly working through them too) and I never saw anything that stated that CS should not be used without any...

So these are all recognized languages like ASL with their own syntax etc.?? Not something like SEE?

Hmmm...so here's where I think we aren't looking at this from the same stance. You are saying cued once. I'm saying that these people have been cueing for a long time...to the point that they are very good at it. So chances are, they have seen the word/mouth shape waaaayyy more than once. I...

I'm going to post this here because I don't know where else to post it. If anyone thinks I should have posted this somewhere else, please let me know. Sooo...sorry if you guys think this is getting too off topic. Fredfam, Looked at your article. Indeed it was interesting. However, a few...

From what I've read, when a person speaks English (I'm switching from Hebrew b/c I don't know any Hebrew:)), groups of vowel sounds make distinct shapes on the mouth (I think 4). Obviously the person is having a conversation, so they have a context and a person brought up with cueing would be...
