Abstract | This article provides a discussion of the importance and use of a method of systematic critical analysis, metatheorizing, as a tool for understanding the current research and debate in deafness and literacy. After reviewing background information on the notion of metatheorizing, the article presents some general remarks relative to the debate on two broad issues in deafness and literacy: (1) the instruction of English literacy skills and (2) the development of English literacy skills as a realistic goal for most students with severe to profound hearing impairment. The article raises questions about the heavy emphasis in programs for deaf students on English text-based literacy skills and suggests such an emphasis may be detrimental to the development of literate thought in many deaf individuals. Contains 28 references. (Author/DB) |
