Gave a practice presentation on the (first draft of the) results from the research project yesterday.
It went well!!! I received a lot of great feedback for improving the presentation. More work to do.
The results, in brief are that Deaf children do think in ASL when they read English, but it looks different from Deaf ASL-English adults and Deaf DGS-German adults. ALSO Deaf children read English (their second language for most) faster than hearing children (their first language)! All very interesting! To me at least :-)
I'm off to Oslo, Norway for the International Symposium on Bilingualism (#8) on Monday.
When I get back the next steps are writing the final research paper, and writing and sending out preliminary summary of results to participants and their parents.
Back to work :-)
