Abstract

Until recently DHH students did not learn grammatical structures and did not deepen their linguistic and meta-linguistic knowledge of GSL. Teachers have little or no theoretical linguistic training of GSL, are not proficient in GSL and there is no recorded grammar of GSL.

This is an ongoing research, and the initial results from the implementation suggest a sound, cohesive and successful pedagogical    practice for deaf children to learn Greek Sign Language which will support them to learn written Greek.
