Abstract

All children including the deaf ones are eager to go to school. For those who have hearing impairments, on the other hand, find it challenging to acquire Vietnamese when they first begin studying the grade – 1 academic program in primary school. This not only lowers their academic performance in all academic topics but also has a bad psychological impact. They become self-deprecating and isolate themselves, fearful of touch. In May 2019, World Concern commissioned the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training to conduct the project “Improving the quality of education for deaf children at primary school level through sign language”, also known as QIPEDC. Teaching Vietnamese and Math in sign language is one of the project’s objectives. However, according to our research, sign language teaching activities for deaf students in elementary schools, particularly in the Vietnamese subject, continue to provide poor outcomes. We will study about deaf children and sign language in this paper, as well as some teacher challenges, in order to increase the effectiveness of Vietnamese teaching for them
