EDHH 577 - Language Development and Methods of Literacy Instruction for Deaf and Hard of Hearing

3 credit hours
The learner will develop their knowledge of syntax and semantics, and the knowledge base needed to evaluate and apply recent research findings, language curricula, and procedures for reading comprehension of deaf and hard of hearing students. The learner will learn to teach and evaluate reading comprehension through appropriate ASL usage. Learners will analyze English syntactic and semantic structures in reading that typical deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students encounter. This will enable the learner to structure developmentally appropriate instructional strategies to develop receptive language skills. Prerequisite(s): Admission to TEP is required.
