The typically low performance of deaf and hard-of-hearing students in reading, comprehension, and language is well documented. This low performance results in severe academic problems in areas such as science and history. One central cause of this poor performance is that deaf students usually have limited and inadequate English vocabularies. While a variety of instruction methods have been shown to produce significant vocabulary growth with hearing students, little effort has been made to extend these methods into comprehensive, systematic curricula that are designed to meet the special needs of deaf students. This project will integrate such proven-effective methods with research-based curriculum design procedures and recent advances in interactive multimedia technology to develop an efficacious program to teach vocabulary to deaf and hard-of-hearing students. In Phase I, 20 multimedia vocabulary lessons employing graphics, animations, on-screen signing, movies and text will be produced and evaluated. The efficacy of the prototype lessons will be evaluated with both middle school and high school students having a range of English/American Sign Language (ASL) abilities. If the Phase I lessons are found effective, in Phase II we will developed an entire two-year curriculum and test its efficacy in a randomized control trial. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: This project will lead to the production of a 2 year multimedia program for teaching vocabulary to deaf and head-of-hearing middle school and high school students. It will be attractive to state, regional, and local schools with deaf and hard-of-hearing students, as well as to institutions which train teachers of the deaf.

聋人和听力障碍学生的典型表现较低 在阅读、理解和语言方面都有很好的记录。这个低 表现导致科学和技术等领域出现严重的学术问题 历史。成绩不佳的一个主要原因是聋哑学生 通常英语词汇量有限且不足。虽然各种 教学方法已被证明可以显着增加词汇量 对于听力正常的学生来说，很少有人努力将这些方法扩展到 全面、系统的课程，旨在满足特殊需求 的聋哑学生。该项目将整合这些行之有效的方法 以研究为基础的课程设计程序和最新进展 交互式多媒体技术开发有效的教学程序 为聋哑学生提供词汇。一期20个多媒体 使用图形、动画、屏幕签名、电影的词汇课程 文本将被生成和评估。原型课程的功效 将对中学生和高中生进行评估 一系列英语/美国手语 (ASL) 能力。如果第一阶段的教训 如果发现有效，在第二阶段我们将开发一个整整两年的 课程并在随机对照试验中测试其功效。 拟议的商业应用： 该项目将制作一个为期 2 年的多媒体教学计划 为聋哑人和听力正常的中学生和高中生提供的词汇。它 对聋哑和听力障碍的州立、地区和当地学校具有吸引力 学生以及培训聋人教师的机构。
