Games, Deaf people education, Sign languagesAbstract
This study carries out a survey about pieces of research which deal with games aiming at the teaching of sign languages and written oral languages to deaf people with the goal of identifying and characterizing the games which have been used for educational contexts. The researchers carried out a systematic review of literature using the Education Resources Information Center (ERIC), Web Science and Scopus database inserting the following terminologies in the wordsearch tool: ‘game’, ‘deaf’ and ‘sign language’. At first, a total of 530 studies were found, and based on a series of criteria, 31 papers were selected as a result of the search. The majority of the games dealt with in the papers are digital and one third of those utilize an electronic device for gesture recognition or sensor of some sort. Games in sign language or bilingual teaching represent most of the selected studies, even though it was observed that a good deal of those games teach only the manual alphabet or isolated sign from the respective sign languages. Furthermore, only a handful of those games make use of sign language in situations which simulate a real communicative context.
