Supporting Inclusive Guidance for Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students

The project ‘Supporting Inclusive Guidance for Teaching English as a Foreign Language to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Students’ (SIGN-EFL) has the following objectives:
(1) To documet and compare the current state of English as a foreign language (EFL) teaching to deaf and hard-of-hearing students in various learning environments (including structural conditions, didactic concepts, materials, chances and challenges) in five European countries (Germany, France, Sweden, Spain and the Czech Republic).
(2) To establish a transnational, cooperative network of EFL teachers and researchers. This network will exchange and disseminate teaching strategies that contribute to successful inclusive EFL teaching for deaf and hard-of-hearing students.
The results will be made available on a website, including examples of good practice, in an accessible and free-of-charge format.
The objectives will be realised jointly in a partnership of five schools and five universities from the five participating countries.
