The cultural competence challenge: Enhancing deaf and hard-of- hearing English learners’ general knowledge
Original language description
As instructors of English for students with hearing impairments, we have identified a pressing need to address, alongside language skills, also the cultural competence of our students. We have repeatedly observed that our students lack cultural knowledge and hence often experience comprehension difficulties when reading texts that refer to specific cultural phenomena, even such that are generally well-known among intact learners. For this reason, we have designed a course in American and Deaf American Culture which is going to focus on raising cultural awareness of deaf and hard-of-hearing English learners. This paper aims to present our project and reflect on the possible benefits of such a course.
