Abstract

This study explores the writing performance of deaf high school students, focusing on narrative, argumentative, and argumentative-with-sources genres, and examining the role of expressive language proficiency and early language exposure. Using a descriptive research design, the writing samples of 75 students were scored for idea development, organization, style, sentence fluency, word choice, and conventions using automated scoring. Results revealed a range of low to mid performance, with the argumentative-with-sources writing scoring similarly to narrative writing and showing incremental growth across the grade levels. Early language exposure and proficiency in ASL or spoken English were linked to better writing outcomes, highlighting the importance of early and accessible language development. The results underscore the urgent need for linguistically responsive materials, reliable ASL assessments, and evidence-based instructional strategies for addressing the range of needs of deaf students. The study calls for further exploration of the patterns observed in students' writing to design instruction that builds on strengths and addresses needs, enhancing academic success and societal participation for deaf learners.

聋人高中生写作成果与表达性语言运用。
摘要本研究探讨聋高中生的写作表现,著重于叙述、议论文和来源议论文三种体裁,并检视表达性语言能力和早期语言暴露的作用。采用描述性研究设计,对75名学生的写作样本进行了自动评分,包括思想发展、组织、风格、句子流畅性、用词选择和惯例。结果显示,学生的表现从低到中,论证性写作和叙事性写作的得分相似,并且在各个年级表现出递增的增长。早期的语言接触和熟练掌握美国手语或英语口语与更好的写作成绩有关,这突出了早期和无障碍语言发展的重要性。研究结果强调了迫切需要语言响应材料、可靠的美国手语评估和基于证据的教学策略来解决聋哑学生的各种需求。该研究呼吁进一步探索学生写作的模式,以设计基于优势和满足需求的教学,提高聋人学习者的学业成功和社会参与。
