James Woodward, Dong Nai Provincial Teachers’ College


Available Symposium Resources: Summary, photos, verbatim captions.

Take Aways:
The presenters shared the Dong Nai Project, begun in 1999 as a “case study in high quality, low cost, and low tech deaf-centered bilingual” for “university education to deaf people through Sign Language research, analysis, teaching interpretation” in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. In addition to providing education for deaf people in Viet Nam, the project team aimed to demonstrate a successful program with few financial or human resources for other countries in Southeast Asia. The project represents the only opportunity for higher education for deaf people in Viet Nam.
