A quick-reference dictionary to sign language for everyone who wants to communicate with someone who is deaf or hearing-impaired. It can be used alone or in conjunction with the Living Language video, Say It By Signing. 1,080 black-and-white illustrations.
The Signed English Schoolbook provides vocabulary for teachers and others who serve school-age children and adolescents and covers the full range of school activities. It also gives parents the language they need to be actively involved in their child's education.The chapters, arranged topically, cover areas such as thinking and learning, hearing loss, mathematics, social science, family and life experiences, play and sports, feelings, and health. By design, the vocabulary in the Schoolbook is largely different from the Signed English Starter, except for the overlap necessary to ensure continuity and completeness. The Schoolbook is structured to help users gain speed and smoothness in their use of signs with speech. It is a major addition to the Signed English series.
The Signed English Starter is the first book to use when learning Signed English. It contains 940 basic signs presented topically, a method especially suited to beginning signers. The organization of the volume makes it easier for students to learn. It provides a basic, functional sign vocabulary; a systematic progression in the use of the 14 sign markers; discussion of the unique features of a manual English system; a glossary of terms; and a page of exercises following each of the 12 chapters in the book. The words have been carefully selected to be of most value to young children.
The descriptions by the acknowledged designer, administrator, or scholar of each system ensures the highest accuracy and thoroughness, distinguishing Manual Communication as a significant, important resource. The first chapter recounts the history of sign language, particularly American Sign Language (ASL), including foreign influences and conflicts about its use. An overview follows, describing factors that affect manual communication, such as learner characteristics. Also, an analysis of a nationwide survey of teachers shows the results of their use of the various forms of manual communication in different settings.
