Deaf students need special treatment for gaining communication skills. Regarding this problem, there has been a new method called Maternal Reflective Method (also known as MRM) that encourages the deaf students to speak using their articulation organs simultaneously with the Indonesian Sign Language. This study aims to discover how nonverbal communication, including touch, body movement, and paralanguage are implemented in a teaching-learning discourse in the kindergarten classroom for the deaf children. The method used by the teacher in delivering the teaching material is the main focus to see the variation of pedagogic multimodal resources. The modes found are also scrutinized due to their communicative implication nature; in regard to Jakobson’s framework on the language functions: referential, emotive, conative, phatic, metalingual, and poetic. The results indicate that most of the time the teacher uses multimodal resources for commanding, prohibiting, and inviting the students in relation to the conative function of language.[Siswa Tuli membutuhkan penanganan khusus dalam mendapatkan kemampuan komunikasi. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, terdapat satu metode bernama Metode Maternal Reflektif (dikenal sebagai MMR) yang mendorong siswa Tuli untuk berbicara menggunakan organ artikulasi bersamaan dengan bahasa isyarat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah bagaimana komunikasi non-verbal, termasuk sentuhan, pergerakan tubuh, dan aspek paralingua diimplementasikan dalam wacana belajar-mengajar di kelas taman kanak-kanak untuk siswa tuli. Metode yang digunakan oleh guru dalam menyampaikan bahan ajar merupakan kunci dalam pencarian variasi sumber daya multimodal pedagogis. Moda-moda yang ditemukan juga diklasifikasikan berdasarkan ciri komunikatifnya; menggunakan teori Jakobson dalam fungsi bahasa: referensial, emotif, konatif, fatis, metalingual, dan puitis. Hasil penelitian mengindikasikan bahwa guru seringkali menggunakan sumber daya multimodal untuk memerintah, melarang, dan mengajak siswa sesuai dengan fungsi konatif bahasa.]

Neste trabalho, estamos interessados em examinar um conjunto de artigos publicados no número noventae um (91) dos Cadernos Cedes, que abordam a aprendizagem de matemática por crianças e adolescentessurdos. Para o exercício analítico, na perspectiva foucaultiana, apoiamo-nos na ferramenta teórico-metodológica doenunciado. Para tal, discutimos o material empírico desta investigação, considerando a metodologia, o referencialteórico e os resultados produzidos pelos autores em seus artigos. O material analisado apresentou aproximaçõesem relação à metodologia das investigações, visto que o desenvolvimento das pesquisas dá-se em ambientes escolares,por meio de atividades com alunos, tendo como foco crianças e adolescentes. Das análises, emergiramenunciados relacionados à aprendizagem matemática por crianças e adolescentes surdos, tais como: as criançassurdas estão atrasadas em relação às ouvintes; a exposição à língua de sinais melhora o desempenho da criançasurda; existem experiências educacionais prévias em contextos informais; a visualidade é fundamental no ensino/aprendizagem da matemática; há uma emergência de criação de sinais nessa área. Nesse sentido, mesmo que aspesquisas sejam desenvolvidas com base em diferentes perspectivas teóricas, são recorrentes os enunciados queposicionam as crianças e jovens surdos como ‘atrasados’ em relação aos ouvintes de mesma faixa etária, e issopor não atenderem a um padrão cultural pré-determinado, sobretudo pela Matemática Escolar da ModernidadePalavras-chave: Educação de surdos.

For such analytical exercise,grounded on the Foucauldian perspective, we have been supported by the theoretical-methodological tool ofenunciation. We have discussed the empirical material of this investigation by considering the methodology, theoreticalreferences and results produced by the authors in their papers. The analyzed material showed approximations interms of methodology, since the researches were carried out in school settings by means of activities with students,with a focus on children and adolescents. From the analyses, some enunciations related to mathematics learning bydeaf children and adolescents have emerged, such as the following: deaf children lag behind their hearing peers; exposureto sign language improves deaf children’s performance; there are previous educational experiences in informalcontexts; visualization is fundamental in mathematics teaching/learning; there has been an increase in signs inthis area. In this sense, even though the researches were based on different theoretical perspectives, enunciationspositioning deaf children and adolescents as ‘delayed’ in comparison with same-age hearing peers are recurrent,as deaf students do not fit the cultural standard that has been predetermined by School Mathematics in ModernityKeywords: Deaf education.

In the preceding chapters, we have seen that a remarkable amount of progress has been made over the past 30 years toward understanding the impact of deafness on learning and development. Bringing together educational and research findings from diverse disciplines, we have endeavored to explain the current state of the art with regard to raising and educating deaf children, as well as some historical bases for contemporary approaches to deaf education. In describing research relating to educational foundations and teaching-learning processes, we have seen that providing parents with balanced and accurate information, continued research efforts, and professional development for teachers are vital parts of the educational futures of deaf students. At the end of each chapter, we have summarized significant findings and developments. Rather than attempting to provide an additional summary here, we reiterate some of the general themes of this book and the major implications for parents, teachers, and others involved in educating deaf students. Probably the most general and salient theme of this book is that the deaf learner should not be viewed as a hearing learner who cannot hear. It is often tempting, for reasons of either perceived equity or for expedience in the classroom, to assume that deaf and hearing children are the same. As we have seen, deaf and hearing children have different backgrounds, experiences, communication histories, and knowledge. To optimize the educational opportunities of deaf learners, we need to develop instructional materials, teaching strategies, and learning environments that take advantage of their strengths while compensating for their special needs. This means that treating deaf children the same as hearing children may be doing them a great disservice. At a minimum, we should resist superficial modifications to educational settings so that deaf children can share classrooms with hearing children when the fundamental needs of all involved have not been considered. A recurring finding across language, social, and academic domains is that early intervention for deaf children and their families is critical. Such programs do more than just support the development of communication and language—they provide deaf children with similar peers, role models, and contexts that promote early development.

This article presents a pedagogical proposal that aims to build a multimodal video with the lyrics of Dorival Caymmi's songs, involving the multiliteracy (linguistic, visual, gestural, spatial and audio) in order to develop the communicative capacity of the deaf subjects involved in the teaching-learning process creating contexts of real productions, enabling multiple activities and, above all, activities that value the Bakhtinian principle of interaction, dialogism. The proposal is organized based on the procedures for the presentation of communication situations involving multimodal discursive genres considering students as protagonists of knowledge. The project was developed in the Specialized Educational Assistance - SEA, in the school context that has as a reference a bilingual perspective, where students use the Brazilian Sign Language as their first language (L1) and Portuguese in written form as a second language (L2), involving the areas of Libras and written Portuguese in order to bring deaf children closer to literacy practices. The choice of the author was due to the celebration of the artist centenary, his compositions that portray and value Bahia, the fact that the students are from Bahia and thinking about the level of complexity of the texts appropriate for the understanding of the deaf students in question.

The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of how communication relates to teaching effectiveness in an Industrial Education setting. Teaching effectiveness was defined in terms of two criteria: supervisor evaluations of teachers and student evaluations of teachers. Results from the study underscored the importance of communication skills in the teaching/learning process. The most important measures were: teacher dynamism, teacher delivery, time spent with the students, positive reinforcement of the students, and positive attitude toward the students. These measures differentiated “good” from “poor” teaching.

Purpose This research applies a quasi-experimental research method to investigate the impact of an innovative resource titled “Accounting Exercise” (teaching intervention using physical movement and lyrics) on learning motivation and performance on a group of students enrolled in a first-year undergraduate accounting course in Japan. Design/methodology/approach Five classes were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (two classes) or a control group (three classes). In the experimental group, 90 students participated in a 15-min “Accounting Exercise” at the commencement of lectures over three consecutive weeks. The remaining 133 students assigned to the control group did not participate in the Accounting Exercise. Findings The findings indicate that the Accounting Exercise provided stimuli in maintaining students’ learning motivation. This finding is important for entry-level students where learning motivation has the potential to influence students’ future decisions on major areas of study and career choices. Originality/value This finding is important for entry-level students where future career options are decided. This effect is also believed to contribute to reducing the declining numbers of students in accounting majors.

Adolescents’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills were compared before and after training in a workforce readiness training program, Language for Scholars (LFS), and a study skills program, Ideal Student Workshop (ISW). A cross-over design was used, ensuring that 44 adolescents received both programs and acted as their own control. The LFS program incorporated aspects of modeling, operationalized behaviors, performance, feedback, and self-regulatory goal setting. The active comparison ISW program taught study skill strategies. Adolescents participated in three interviews before (Pretest) and after both programs (Posttest 1, Posttest 2). Findings revealed that both adolescents’ verbal and nonverbal communication skills improved significantly immediately after completion of the LFS program only at Posttest 1 and Posttest 2. However, only nonverbal communication skills improved at Posttest 1 when comparing results between LFS and ISW. Findings suggest that both programs yielded some positive outcomes for adolescents.

Analytical exposition text is one of the texts studied by eleventh-grade students, and they are asked to produce the analytical exposition text by themselves. However, they faced some difficulties that impede their teaching and learning of making the analytical exposition text. This research aimed to design Materials of Writing Analytical Exposition Text (MOWAET) as a supplementary teaching material to support teaching and learning analytical exposition text. This research was developmental research and applied ADDIE as the procedure to design the materials. Still, there were only three implemented phases in this research: analyzing, designing, and developing. MOWAET was the completed design product for teaching-learning analytical exposition text. The researcher interviewed an English teacher of SMA Negeri 4 Pontianak to do the analyzing phase. MOWAET was created by using PowerPoint and Animaker as the supporting software. The researcher used an internal evaluation to ensure that the product is usable in the development phase. The internal evaluation phase showed that MOWAET met all the criteria, including the objectives, the content, and the media option. Shortening, it was found that the materials of writing analytical exposition text (MOWAET) are usable to support teaching and learning analytical exposition text.

This chapter explores the relationship between culturally responsive school leadership and school culture in schools for the deaf. The author demonstrates how Deaf culture, identity, and culturally responsive school leadership intertwine and influence each other. This chapter reports on observations of and interviews with leaders in six schools for the deaf in the United States. Many current school leaders serving Deaf children lack knowledge and understanding of Deaf culture and Deaf identity. Culturally responsive leaders in the schools for the deaf that were studied were almost all part of Deaf culture. If school leaders are to better meet the needs deaf students’ education and identity development, they must recognize the students’ cultures and identities. The author makes a plea for better equipping potential principals and other leaders of schools for the deaf.
