Beskrivning

This book is the first edited international volume focused on critical perspectives on plurilingualism in deaf education, which encompasses education in and out of schools and across the lifespan. The book provides a critical overview and snapshot of the use of sign languages in education for deaf children today and explores contemporary issues in education for deaf children such as bimodal bilingualism, translanguaging, teacher education, sign language interpreting and parent sign language learning. The research presented in this book marks a significant development in understanding deaf children's language use and provides insights into the flexibility and pragmatism of young deaf people and their families’ communicative practices. It incorporates the views of young deaf people and their parents regarding their language use that are rarely visible in the research to date.

Recensioner i media

This book makes a compelling case for recognising that deaf people have always had, and increasingly will have, diverse language repertoires which must be leveraged with deaf-centered insight for effective education. The plurilingual framework is a refreshing departure from reductionist binaries about language practices and identities entrenched in this field. These scholars inspire us to look and think outside those lines, and to grapple with the reality and potential of language hybridity.
