Grandparents, Parents, Children--and Four Languages: A Deaf Family's Story
Morán, Norma; Torres, Franklin C.
Odyssey: New Directions in Deaf Education, v21 p4-7 2020
Despite different childhood experiences--primarily differences centered around language access--the authors share stories of growing up in large Spanish-speaking families with a strong sense of cultural identity and values. Now as they raise three children together, this is what they want for them as well--a sense of cultural identity and pride, and fluency in at least four languages--American Sign Language (ASL), Peruvian Sign Language (LSP), English, and Spanish. [This article is a companion to "Family Language Planning with Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children: Fostering Multilingual Development" in this issue (see EJ1268229).]
