   :: Meeting with Teachers of the Deaf ::

Resource by Mrs. Aya Katharina Kremp
The teachers are explained about the successful deaf professionals in USA. A few years ago, Germany was staying behind in the status of the deaf. But a first change in teaching method to the deaf students has made gradual transformations in a class at a deaf school in Germany. Because of this successful result after 10 years, now some classes at other deaf schools want to follow. This has happened with one class at the deaf school where Ms Aya Kremp is working.

A CD 'Bilingual Education for the Deaf' showed how the deaf can be taught in a different method to understand the language in use among the deaf and the language among the hearing. Teaching by two teachers - one Hearing and another Deaf, in a classroom will be an effective way of teaching. The main problem is to have a professional deaf teacher with BED degree. The government of India should enunciate plans to support professional deaf teachers. The life of the deaf students is very important. They should be taught effectively. So the Government should consider this a sheet and plan to do the needful. Teachers exclaimed that teaching the deaf students grammatically is very difficult because the deaf cannot understand it. Mrs. Aya explained in detail how it is made possible by explaining to the students in sign language and also in writing.

Teachers asked about Mrs. Aya's personal experience in her education. She replied them that initially she was put up in a Hearing school, where she finds it very hard to understand and learn. She felt very weak. After 10 years of her life in Hearing school, she was put up in a deaf school where she met deaf people for the first time. From these deaf people she learned Sign Language which she finds herself strong later.

Gradually, she finished her higher education at the university and did B.Ed, thus qualified herself as a teacher. Teachers felt the hardness experienced by her during studies and realized the power of Sign Language. Teachers are happy to have Ms.Aya at India and assured her to support the deaf students in all the ways in their field of education.
