Abstract
This paper reports the outcomes of a project sponsored by the Training Agency (now TEED) to produce CAL material to teach employment-related language to hearing-impaired school leavers. The tutorial content was decided after conducting a survey of teachers of the deaf, in order to determine which areas they felt were significant and where there was a shortage of existing material. A survey of the literature relating to language and the deaf produced a number of rules for the generation of the language content of the tutorials. In addition tutorials were written at two levels of language so that the material can be related to the needs of the student using the system. These needs are assessed by a computerised version of the SPAR reading test. A management system guides the student through the tutorials and reports back to the teacher on the student's progress, what help has been requested, and the results of the tests which are included in the tutorials.
