The study was co-developed with practitioners in the field and involved: a demographic survey of deaf education services; five institutional case studies of local authority services and four individual case studies of children who are DHH and from Roma families. An intersectional approach to the analysis of the data revealed the different vulnerabilities associated with being a child who is DHH and being from a migrant Roma family in England. The study provides the first estimate of the numbers of children who are DHH and from Roma families in England. It also documents an overview of the support offered to Roma children by local authority services and offers insights into the experiences of families and children. In conclusion, it considers the implications for multi-professional practice.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"224 1","pages":"25 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83979288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For each region we now welcome Associate Review Editors chosen through a process supported by D&EI’s two professional associations the British Association of Teachers of the Deaf (BATOD) and the National Association of Australian Teachers of the Deaf (NAATD). In early 2020, we will seek additional Associate Review Editors to make up a full Board of five Executive Editors and five Associate Review Editors from each global region. Additionally, we are very pleased to welcome Joy Rosenberg as D&EI’s newly appointed Book Review Editor; if you would like to represent a global region as a book reviewer, please see the expression of interest in D&EI’s next issue. In this issue, we have articles or book reviews from all five global regions. Colourful Semantics is an example of an intervention often used with children who are deaf but so far scarcely evaluated. From Sri Lanka, Shyamani Hettiarachchi and Mahishi Ranaweera’s article explores its use in two deaf schools in an intervention implemented by class teachers. A team of researchers from Ottawa in Canada, Vivian Grandpierre and colleagues, investigate the views of audiologists and speech and language therapists working in early years health services in relation to their work with children who are deaf from minority community backgrounds. The article raises important issues; practitioners who are not culturally aware may make assumptions about these families or neglect to engage services such as interpreters. Daniel Fobi and Alexander Oppong introduce an overview of historical developments in deaf education in Ghana, looking at colonial and post-colonial influences on communication approaches and secondary exam results. Khalid Alasim and Peter Paul investigate the views of both teachers of deaf children and ordinary class teachers in Saudi Arabia towards the inclusion of students who are deaf, with findings suggesting neutrality towards inclusion, as at present most class teachers have little experience of teaching deaf children. Becoming skilled in a country’s sign language is perhaps the most noteworthy challenge facing hearing teachers of children who are deaf globally. Denise Powell, Anita Boon and John Luckner report on research evaluating the improving New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) skills of teachers of children who are deaf in New Zealand. The individual coaching approach where teachers identify their own NZSL learning goals has much to offer other countries. Finally, we review a book about deaf education from Latin America. There is a vibrant deaf education research culture and are many pedagogical innovations in South America, particularly around bilingual education, although not often discussed in written English Journals.

However, to date, there is no known published research investigating roles of D/HH adults in such programmes. This article discusses results from an online exploratory survey distributed internationally with the focus on the support and roles of deaf adults working in programmes serving young deaf children and their families. Forty-eight respondents completed the survey. Findings indicate that the support provided by deaf adults includes educational information and communication support, and that the major roles provided by deaf adults are as role models and language providers. Additionally, respondents reported that families do not have a diverse range of deaf professionals to connect with in early intervention programmes. This article concludes with a call to action for infusing deaf adults in programmes that include Formalisation, Collaboration, Education, and Infusion. For the purpose of this manuscript, the term “deaf” is an inclusive term representing all individuals with various hearing levels and cultural experiences.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"4 1","pages":"3 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82014861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three preschoolers (2 male and 1 female) between the ages of 3 and 4 years and enrolled in a public preschool which used an oral communication approach participated in this study. Results indicate that combined focused conversational recasting, auditory bombardment, and attentional focus during a 5-minute intervention session produced an effect size (Tau-U) of .70 for Child 1; .91 for Child 2; and .67 for Child 3, representing moderate to strong effects of the treatment for Child 1 and 2 and strong effects of the treatment for Child 3. The results suggest that the combination of focused conversational recasting, auditory bombardment, and attentional focus can be implemented by classroom teachers in a 1:1 setting and can yield improved grammatical skills in young children.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"7 1","pages":"43 - 63"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78894520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the same time, making visible complex practices has resulted in methodologies and representational techniques that, while seeking to “go beyond” boundaries across language-varieties and modalities, may, in fact, deploy and even reinforce such boundaries. Empirical studies across the last 20 years that focus on analyses and representations seeking to contribute to such a “going beyond” agenda are identified and scrutinised here. The concepts of Languaging, and its neologism Translanguaging, are focused upon in this study, with the aim of shedding light on how such a “going beyond” agenda is conceptualised and adopted in the research on Bilingual Education of Deaf Individuals, BEDI. The findings of this systematic search illustrate the fragmentation of the fields related to languaging and BEDI, highlighting that the “going beyond” agenda has, in fact, still not managed to reach beyond its own boundaries in terms of disciplinary epistemologies and ontologies.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"27 1","pages":"74 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90866304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper takes the concept of a struggle for recognition, Erwing Goffman’s concept of “passing”, and the cross-disciplinary concept of languaging as its theoretical points of departure. Data from two empirical studies – one of children with cochlear implants in a school for the deaf and one of these children languaging with typically hearing peers – are presented. The data show that the deaf children in the mainstream kindergarten and school frequently display the behaviour that Goffman coined passing: they pretend to understand, strive to appear as if they were typically hearing, and deploy a range of strategies designed to conceal that they have trouble understanding their peers. Goffman’s work on passing is combined with the data at hand in order to understand passing both as a challenging and exhausting activity and as a symptom indicating that the deaf children experience stigma in Goffman’s sense. Passing can be understood as a struggle for recognition, but since passing is a strategy at odds with the idea of an authentic identity presupposed in Critical Theory, behaviours of passing might be understood as a moral problem that can be displayed and analysed in various ways. The paper concentrates on questions of what Axel Honneth calls “solidary recognition” and suggests that the methodological implications of the way that children’s languaging practices are approached should be subjected to further investigation.","PeriodicalId":44565,"journal":{"name":"Deafness & Education International","volume":"27 1","pages":"116 - 132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82617039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
