Abstract

Within the American deaf community, multilingualism is evidence among deaf individuals who use three (or more) languages daily. Despite the linguistic diversity, limited research focuses on multilingualism, multilingual education, or multilingual development in this population. The increasing multilingual immigrant D/HH student population in the United States coupled with a scarcity of research on multilingual immigrant D/HH learners has triggered various assumptions about their education. This chapter will focus on addressing the assumptions surrounding the education of immigrant multilingual deaf learners.
