This is an example of carefully carried out research addressing examples of lack of alignment between curriculum, assessment and aims which can limit students’ achievement and the achievement of the goals of curriculum planners.

If you are researching in this area, please let us know so that we can add this information to the guide. An important linked area is the aims of education. The findings reported in Bhatti’s theses indicate the importance of ensuring that the aims of education are aligned with the curriculum (all aspects) and the assessment experience of students. If a wholistic view is not taken by curriculum planners then the desired outcomes are not likely to be achieved. 

5 star:  

The Editors see no reason that these definitions will not be understood in other settings.  A restricted understanding of the different forms the curriculum takes can prevent intended outcomes being achieved.

This is a carefully carried out study with a well documented methodology. The findings have been further tested- see the case study column above.

Cued Speech can be of real benefit to adults with a hearing loss by giving full access to spoken language, helping them process new vocabulary accurately and keep their own pronunciation skills honed.

The situation for deaf adults falls broadly into three categories:

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

National Cued Speech Association (NCSA)

Cued Speech Discovery Bookstore

Cue Everything

Daily Cues

Northern Virginia Cued Speech Association

Cued Speech Association Minnesota

Within a sign language using Deaf family, visual access may still be possible to both the sign language of the home and the spoken language of the country.  Often hearing family members such as grandparents, will cue for their deaf grandchildren but if the deaf parents themselves were raised with CS then they may also decide to use it expressively with their own children.

British Sign Language is a 100% visible language.  Cued Speech makes the language of English 100% visible.
