Auteurs : Daoui Sabrina .

Résumé

This study examines the role of sign-based assistive technology in improving learning and communication among deaf students. It focuses on the sign-language translator and the sign font as applied models. The study adopts the descriptive analytical method and uses a brief applied reading of field data from a study on modern communication technology in the education of students with hearing impairment. The analysis shows that sign-based tools can clarify concepts, reduce linguistic ambiguity, support attention, increase classroom participation, and strengthen autonomy when they are integrated into a structured pedagogical design. The study proposes a procedural model based on visual preparation, multi-channel presentation, interactive activity, feedback, and flexible assessment. It also provides an observation grid for evaluating understanding, participation, communication, autonomy, confidence, and transfer of learning. The study recommends teacher training, Arabic digital sign resources, and assessment practices based on visual and signed communication.
