On Tue, 4 May 1999 19:55:40 -0700 Valerie sent, on behalf of someone else: Subject: Questions About SW >snip< ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ another person asks.... "I am specifically looking for schools that offers a program that offers separate formal instruction in ASL and English and that also offers translation instruction from ASL to written English, and written English to ASL. Do you know of a school that offers such a program for deaf students?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ >snip< Can anyone help answer some of those questions? Like the second one - I have no idea what to tell her or where to refer her.... Thanks for your help everyone - My contritbution: Well, as for Sign Language and National Language taught as separate subjects, with translations between them, Sweden and Norway are doing this throughout their school system. Sweden has for years, Norway only started in 1997. But in Norway, in upper secondary, we have been teaching Norwegian Sign Language as a separate subject since the late 1980s, and with some Sign Writing as part of the curriculum, for deaf students.
