Proud of your Language!

liza martinez,Ph.D in her presentation highlight some point for us to ponder:

"deaf people in Filipino faced big problems in finding their own deaf culture and language.
since,the school practicing English as a medium of learning,the chances of Tagalog being used are minimal and zero at all.thus,Filipino Sign Language (FSL) are mostly adapted American SL (ASL).Because of this,they really have problem in signing their own national language ,Tagalog."

moral:school should be using BM as medium.and if you want to introduce english as a medium,be it for upper secondary level!
