| dc.description.abstract | Sign Language is a natural language used as a method of communication for deaf people in their day to day activities; Signed Spoken Language is also the other method of communication commonly used in our country to teach children with hearing impairment. The purpose of this study was to investigate the challenges and opportunities of teaching Signed Afan Oromo in the case of SSNETC. To carry out the study, relevant literature review was made, and four tools of data gathering were employed. These were questionnaire for 3 rd year SNE students, interview for SAO instructors, SL class observation and document analysis. The results of the study indicate that the teaching-learning of SAO in the college has been hindered by serious challenges, the opening of the college, enrolment of deaf trainees are the main opportunity to learn SAO. Based on the findings it is possible to conclude that if the trainees couldn’t communicate effectively using Sign Language, it is difficult to them to give quality education and necessary support for deaf children at the grassroots level. Sebeta Special Needs Education Teachers’ College should give attention to SL teaching and facilitate training for all SL instructors | en_US |
