The Use of Fingerspelling in Teachers' Academic Communication.

Luetke-Stahlman, Barbara

ACEHI Journal, v16 n2-3 p110-14 1990

This study analyzed the fingerspelling of 25 teachers using Signing Exact English (SEE) 1 or 2, and 25 teachers using Manual/Signed English or Pidgin Signed English with their hearing-impaired students. Intergroup differences were not significant. Teachers used fingerspelling primarily to introduce novel words, spell short words, and spell proper names. (JDD)
