Possible Influences on Bilingualism in Early ASL Acquisition.
Johnson, Robert E. – Teaching English to Deaf and Second-Language Students, 1994
Examines a number of ways in which the process of natural acquisition of American Sign Language (ASL) from competent adult and child users of the language might directly enhance the learning of English. The natural acquisition of ASL, contact signing, and fingerspelling may enhance English language literacy. (45 references) (MDM)
