Language development, and the challenges it can present for
individuals who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, have long been a focus
of research, theory, and practice in D/deaf studies and deaf
education. Over the past 150 years, but most especially near the
end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century, advances in the
acquisition and development of language competencies and skills
have been increasing rapidly. This volume addresses many of those
accomplishments as well as remaining challenges and new questions
that have arisen from multiple perspectives: theoretical,
linguistic, social-emotional, neuro-biological, and socio-cultural.
The contributors comprise an international group of prominent
scholars and practitioners from a variety of academic and clinical
backgrounds. The result is a volume that addresses, in detail,
current knowledge, emerging questions, and innovative educational
practice in a variety of contexts. The volume takes on topics such
as discussion of the transformation of efforts to identify a "best"
language approach (the "sign" versus "speech" debate) to a stronger
focus on individual strengths, potentials, and choices for
selecting and even combining approaches; the effects of language on
other areas of development as well as effects from other domains on
language itself; and how neurological, socio-cognitive, and
linguistic bases of learning are leading to more specialized
approaches to instruction that address the challenges that remain
for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. This volume both
complements and extends The Oxford Handbook of Deaf Studies and
Deaf Education, Volumes 1 and 2, going further into the unique
challenges and demands for deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals than
any other text and providing not only compilations of what is known
but setting the course for investigating what is still to be
learned.
