This study aims to quantify the awareness of Deaf teens regarding foreign sign languages and promote cultural enrichment. The research reveals the necessity for learning a second sign language beyond the universal one. By addressing this issue, the project plans to establish online learning platforms, peer collaboration, and exchange programs for Deaf individuals globally. Join us in bridging communication gaps and fostering international connections within the Deaf community.

Foreign Sign Language Survey: Connecting Deaf Teens through On-Line Learning Shari Shari Dr. Robert Hancock robert.hancock@selu.edu Dr. Becky Sue Parton becky.parton@selu.edu NTID – Rochester - 2010
Reason for the Study Through working with Deaf children and adults, it seems as though very few know a second sign language. Even more importantly, many Deaf children don’t seem to realize that sign language is not universal. Survey is a first step to quantify that observation. A second step is to address the problem, if in fact it is true that students don’t know a foreign sign language. The rationale for learning a foreign sign language is the same as learning a second spoken language for hearing students – cultural enrichment, enhanced travel experiences, connection with other population groups, etc. Shari Shari NTID – Rochester - 2010
