  1. Introductions Culturally correct

  2. Getting a deaf person’s attention • Politely wave so that they see your hand moving • Politely tap: shoulder, arm, knee, foot • If farther away: • Ask for intermediary help • If there is no help from another person: wave largely or go to them • If there are a room full of deaf people and you need the attention of al, blink the lights

  3. Greetings • Hello • Good morning • How are you? • Good to see you

  4. Responses • Hello • Good morning • I’m fine, good, tired, busy,… • Good to see you too • Nice to meet you

  5. Names • What’s your name? • My name is… • I am named… • I am/honorific… • Last name… • What’s your name?

  6. conversation with a Deaf person, cultural notes: • Always maintain eye contact • Never affirm that you understand something if you don’t. • Show that you really are engaged with communicating. Try as best you can, don’t become frustrated. • He/she would rather repeat themselves than to be blown off. • If you don’t know the vocabulary for what you want to talk about, act it out; as a last resort, write it down.

  7. Deaf people are looking for a connection • Are you learning sign language? • New student? • Your teacher’s name? • What school do you go to? • What year or level of sign language are you in? • Will you continue next year? • Are there Deaf students in your school? • What is his/her name?

  8. Now we will practice in groups of three with your teacher (who will play the Deaf person) in front of the class.
