Synopsis

A companion to Reading Between the Signs, this workbook expands the focus on two key topics in Deaf culture: the relativity of politeness and the distinction between direct and indirect communication styles - both of which are important elements in comparing Deaf and mainstream cultures. Fun and challenging exercises allow the students to better comprehend the sometime puzzling differences of culturally appropriate behaviour. Role plays, discussion topics and critical incidents increase the students first-hand understanding of the interplay between Deaf and mainstream cultures.
