This paper was co-authored by Cynthia Patschke, Elizabeth Nowell, Nancy Lewis, Sue Roberts, Timothy Anderson, Holly Roth, and Alexander Quaynor.
  • At the national TESOL convention March 24-28, 1991 in New York City, Mr. Alexander Quaynor and Mr. Timothy Anderson gave a presentation and also created a working paper, “Learning Characteristics of Foreign Deaf Students in An English as a Second Language Program.”
  • The ELI program hosted the “ESL in Deaf Education: Bilingualism in Practice” conference at Gallaudet University’s Northwest Campus, June 4 – 6, 1992. Mr. Tim Anderson was one of the workshop facilitators.
