“…Research has shown that deaf children who use spoken communication have significant difficulty acquiring the morpho-syntactic aspects of spoken language (e.g., Bishop, 1983;Bochner & Albertini, 1988;Mogford, 1993;Tur-Kaspa & Dromi, 2001). We did not find a specific deficit in syntactic performance in this CI sample.…”

This study explored the language skills of children with cochlear implants (CIs) compared to normal hearing (NH) peers. Standardized speech and language measures, including speech articulation, receptive and expressive vocabulary, syntax and morphology, and metalinguistics, were administered to 39 congenitally deaf children, ages 5 to 14, and a matched sample of NH children. Many CI children demonstrated age-appropriate scores on several language measures, yet their performance was significantly lower than NH peers. Results indicated that (a) age at implant predicted significant variance in receptive vocabulary and short-term auditory memory performance, and (b) duration of CI use predicted receptive syntax performance.

“…The development of spoken English language and literacy skills is a challenging task for hearing‐impaired learners because of hearing loss restricting the intake of linguistic information through the auditory channel (Berent, Kelly and Aldersley et al., 2007; Bochner and Albertini, 1988). The acquisition of morphology, syntax and vocabulary such as inflectional affixes, function words and deviations from canonical word order are particular areas of difficulty (Bochner and Bochner, 2009).…”

As English increasingly becomes the international language, many ministerial and educational organisations have identified the need to improve the competence of Thai students in speaking English. While there is significant research devoted to developing software tools to support the teaching of English as a second language, they are mostly concerned with adult learners. This project focuses on addressing the need to improve the teaching of English as a second language to primary school children with hearing impairments. This paper presents the development of an educational software tool referred to as the Total Communication with Animation Dictionary (TCAD), which supports learners in the acquisition and retention of new English lexical knowledge and is based on the theoretical approaches of Total Communication and situated learning. A series of experiments was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of the TCAD in improving vocabulary acquisition and retention. Early results are promising with increased learner engagement and performance compared with traditional approaches.

“…Afin de tester mes hypothèses sur la nature de l'impact de la surdité profonde sur le langage, je caractérise les productions orales de sourds profonds dans deux langues différentes, et ce, à un stade de développement de la langue qui soit le plus possible avancé et stabilisé : d'après la littérature, ce stade se situe à la préadolescence (Goetzinger et al, 1959 ;Myklebust, 1964 ;Bochner et Albertini, 1988). J'ai donc enregistré de jeunes adolescents âgés de 13 à 15 ans en 1988 ; ces adolescents, quatre francophones et quatre anglophones, étaient munis de prothèses peu performantes, voire inefficaces.…”
