Applied research on American Sign Language (ASL) is crucial for effective classroom instruction and lexical database development. Teacher content knowledge and signing experience are key to selecting appropriate signs for deaf students

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics and Deaf Education

Background:

  • Classroom instruction and lexical database development require applied research in sign language.
  • Consideration of American Sign Language (ASL) rules, pedagogy, and teacher characteristics is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify essential factors for selecting appropriate technical science signs for instruction.
  • To highlight the need for systematic examination of sign selection and its impact on deaf learners.

Main Methods:

  • The study focused on technical science signs.
  • Teacher characteristics, including signing experience and content knowledge, were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • Teachers' signing experience and, significantly, their content knowledge are vital for identifying suitable instructional signs.
