Abstract The qualitative case study investigates how Deaf students participate in music in a number of ways and from a variety of backgrounds, including their own experience of education. The event involved a school that provided a music programme for Deaf children and a questionnaire, interviewings, reports and documents were used to examine them. The students have been particularly interested with music by participating in the fields of sign language, song, instrument playing and vocalisation as part of the school music programme. Perhaps because of shared encounters in their music classes students’ participation with music in the neighbourhood and in the community through spontaneous music events became able to criticise the stereopropes of their family members and the community. The musical interests of the students demonstrated a primarily visual and kinaesthetic awareness of music and an emphasis on repertoire learned through the curriculum of school music. The pleasure in music of the students was decided not always by their hearing ability, but more frequently by their hearing concept. The study’s findings show that music has a presence in the Deaf community.

This article aims to identify the importance of Assistive Technology in Deaf Education in an educational institution of the Federal Network of Vocational and Technological Education. This is a case study, with bibliographic research and interview with the application of a questionnaire to four sectors of the institution: management, teaching, deaf students and one Sign Language Translator/Interpreter. The results indicate that, despite the diffusion and popularization of social media, there are differences in the respondents’ understanding of Assistive Technology (AT), which reflects the lack of effectiveness between what management perceives to be done in favor of Deaf students through the use of AT, what the teacher believes he is doing for these students and what the sign language translator and interpreter and Deaf students experience in the classroom.

Hong Kong Sign Language

In analyzing code-switching in spoken languages, Chan (2003, 2008) proposes that only functional heads with their associated language determine the order of the complement. In this paper, we examine whether Chan's analysis can account for code-blending in Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) and Cantonese by a deaf child (2;0.26–6;6.26) and three deaf adult native signers. HKSL and Cantonese differ in head directionality so far as the functional elements of modals, negators, and auxiliaries are concerned. They are head-final in HKSL but head-initial in Cantonese. The HKSL–Cantonese code-blending data in this study largely conform to Chan's analysis, where the order of the complement is determined by which language the functional head appears in. However, code-blending the functional heads of a similar category in both languages leads to either order of the complement. Also, the deaf child's apparent violations of adult HKSL grammar reveal crosslinguistic influence from Cantonese to HKSL during code-blending.

This study aimed to identify deaf people with Deaf with Waardenburg Syndrom Type II. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the qualitative method was used for the one case study. The sample included (2) deaf students from all deaf schools in Jordan, who are between the ages of (9-10), and (Wechsler Intelligence Scale ,WISC-IV) was applied in the language of Performance Scales and Audiometry. The results of the study showed the presence of symptoms in Deaf people with Wardenberg syndrome type II in terms of: auditory sensory loss. The presence of a side shift to the inner corner of the eyes. Premature graying of hair on the front of the head in white and some on the eyelashes or on the eyebrow. The eyebrows are connected to each other. Dark blue or brown eyes with black and pigment color differences in the iris. The root of the nose is wide and the presence of the rabbit's lip. The results of the study also showed that there is an intense focus during communication in the sign language at the hands of the speaker due to the fact that the color contrast of the eyes led to a dispersion of the focus in the sign language. They also have a sense of the direction of light, which may adversely affect the process of visual communication of sign language. The results of the study also showed that the average hearing impairment was the highest category. The study recommends further studies and research related to the level of intelligence of deaf people with Type II syndrome, as well as studies related to visual perception in Deaf people with type 2 Wardenburg syndrome and the inclusion of this syndrome as an important part of the categories of hearing impairment.
