Ok, since my last thread was closed for some reason, I would like to continue with my questions. I do appreciate the ideas that I got from the people who posted on my other thread. Please keep this one a little less argument centered. Sources for studies are awesome, but I am also looking for...

ok, so another question. for those who went to a school who taught primarily, or only, using oralism, what kind of methods did they use to teach?

thank you all for your input. i know that when i first heard about teaching deaf children orally i was slightly confused about it. i didn't really understand how some one who couldn't hear could be taught using speach. but due to some research, and of course a lot of your comments, i'm finding...

i think that even by just being able to use ASL right now, though i still don't know all that much, i can help the deaf people who come into my work place. i've encountered groups of people who would be looking around, and no one really knew how to help them, cause no one knew any sign. when i...

i'll have to take a look at that. :) now what makes you say sign language over oralism?

lol, i see. :) i guess my first question would be, which form of teaching more preferable? Using sign language or oralism?

I live in Arizona.

i'm sorry, what do you mean by am i near to you? do you mean as in place i live?

just as an after thought, i really hope that this isn't offensive to any one. i am just very interested in what people think about the subject. if it offends any one, please let me know.

Hi, my name is Roxy, and I have a favor to ask of any one who would like to help me out. I am doing a research paper for my English class on deaf schools and the use of oral teaching methods (past and present). I first got interested in the topic while watcing a documentary in my ASL class. I...
