Sample text

Deaf children’s experience of spoken language development will depend on the nature and the extent of individual hearing loss and how this affects the experience of early interaction and access to the ambient language and conversation in the home (Knoors, 2007; Knoors & Marschark, 2012). Exposure to spoken language is also contingent on age of onset and type and degree of deafness, as well as access to and use of technology (Archbold, 2015). Over recent years, however, deaf children’s potential to develop fluent spoken language at an early age has been greatly enhanced by the advances in hearing technology and screening protocols.

On standard speech perception and receptive and expressive language measures, the participants demonstrated competency in a second spoken language and age-​appropriate receptive and expressive language abilities in their primary language. Thomas, El-​Kashlan, and Zwolan (2008) provide similar evidence of deaf children with CIs learning multiple spoken languages without compromising the development of English as the primary language. In this study, no significant differences were found between the language outcomes of children who used a minority language at home when compared with those from monolingual homes.

The term “multilingualism” is thus used as the overarching expression when thinking about the many languages in deaf children’s lives. K. CONTEXT The United Kingdom is becoming an increasingly linguistically diverse and multilingual society where, on average, 15% of school children use a language other than spoken English at home (this is 45% in London) and where the proportion and relative commonness of languages continues to change in response to increasing superdiversity and migration patterns (British Academy, 2013).
