Apprentissage de la langue de signes français et adaptation scolaire des élèves déficients auditifs : étude menée à Eseda.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to analyze how the fundamental mechanisms of the training of the language of the signs account for the school adaptation of the auditive defective pupils. By observing the hearing impairment pupils of ESEDA, one notes difficulties of communication at those lately registered which, are explained by the fact why their framework of primary socialization (family) in which they leave always do not have sufficient competences of the conventional gestures of communication. However, for Philippe Séro-Guillaume (1990), the LSF is the language of socialization of the hearing impairment people. Does the question which results from this is that of knowing how the training of the language of the signs gift account to the school adaptation of the EDA? Research falls under an understanding paradigm and rests on the qualitative estimate which calls upon the directing semi–talks like technique of data acquisition. The data were collected from three, children in situation of hearing impairment handicap. They were analyzed using the technique of contents set of themes. The principal results reveal that: firstly, the training of the gesture by the image through photographs, movements of the fingers and hand, secondly, the training of the decoding of mimicry body through movements of the lips, head and bust, of language body and thirdly the training of the parameters of formation of the sign through the configuration, the site and the orientation account for the school adaptation of the hearing impairment pupils. These EDA present behaviors of deviances and are victims of marks due to the fact of their nonconventional mode of communication. However, when these fundamental mechanisms are not master, the EDA present serious problems of school adaptation. On the basis of this reality, we think that it is necessary for the families hearing alive with deaf children to learn how the French language of the signs finally to accompany their offspring in their school life. A good collaboration between parents and teachers contributes to the improvement of school competences of those.
