DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, October 15, 2015 morning
-- a bad lipreading video spoof
there was a video production of bad lipreading
in New Zealand. People were saying things that
the deaf thought what they said. All of them
wrong and all of them funny. The goal is
to show the New Zealand government that deaf
people need TV captions. Coming up soon is
the World Rugby World Cup on television but
not captioned. Deaf people are angry but
the government is not convinced they need
captions. This is the reason for the video
spoof on bad lipreading.
-- masters thesis in sign language
Could a deaf person use ASL instead of
written English with his masters
thesis? In USA, no, but in Japan, a
deaf masters candidate is using
Japanese Sign Language! He has been
encouraged by his advisor to use
sign language. It is about a topic
in Social Work.
