q1 · i? · causal · r1
Qualitative analysis of interns' anecdotal observations and field notes across the five sessions. Interns reported children signing at home and teaching signs to others; one first grade teacher described a previously reluctant student's increased self-confidence as "probably a bigger plus than learning the words".
"In general, the level of enthusiasm for learning the ASL vocabulary words was extremely high."
