Hello Mohammed!<br>
These are important results showing that SignWriting improved Deaf <br>
student's achievement and helped them recognize vocabulary. Thank you <br>
for doing this study!<br>
<br>
If you send me the PDF of your dissertation, I will be happy to find <br>
a skilled translator to translate it from Arabic to English, and I <br>
will then give the translation to you for your correction and editing.<br>
<br>
Thank you again, for studying the use of SignWriting in the classroom!<br>
<br>

><br>
> The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of<br>

><br>
> The study was conducted at a purposive sample contained of 32 male<br>
> and female students from the 5th grade , the were divided into two<br>
> groups, one of them was randomly assignment as an experimental<br>
> group which contain 15 students (10 male ,5 female) , the second was<br>
> a control group which contain 17students ( 11 male, 6 female). Two<br>
> tools used to collect the data, the first was a multiple choice test<br>
> which was built according characteristics table, the validity and<br>
> reliability for this tool was verified. The second tool was a list of<br>
> vocabulary that was selected randomly from the science lessons,<br>
> validity and reliability for this tool was verified. The two tools<br>
