A siket közösség és a magyar jelnyelv megjelenése az anyanyelvi órákon

Abstract

Linguistic research on the Deaf community and Hungarian sign language started in Hungary nearly 30 years ago. Nonetheless, there are still several misconceptions about this linguistic minority among the laymen. It is worth starting to brush away misconceptions as early as possible – and school provides an excellent scene for this. The present study introduces teaching materials where the target groups are students in grades 5-12 in majority elementary and secondary schools and also their teachers. The primary aims of this study are knowledge development, as well as the development of positive attitude towards the Deaf community in order to create social integration.
