El-Zraigat<BR>> ABSTRACT<BR>><BR>> The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of<BR>> signwriting on academic achievement and vocabulary acquiring for deaf<BR>> students at Al amal school for deaf in Amman city. To achieve
this<BR>> goal, the researcher developed and applied a training program by<BR>> using Signwriting lesson which created by Valarie Suton, to teach<BR>> signwriting for deaf students at the fifth grade at Al amal school<BR>> for deaf in Amman city, and to teach them a selected part of science<BR>> book from the second semester.<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>> were conducted as pre and post test for the two groups .The data were<BR>> analyzed by using (ANCOVA).<BR>><BR>> The results of the study were indicated to significantly differences<BR>> between the two groups in favor of experimental groups in achievement<BR>> and vocabulary. Also, the findings showed effect to the interaction<BR>> between the group and gender in vocabulary . The study recommended<BR>> making more studies about signwriting and expands the samples and the<BR>> ages.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>> Boardwalk for $500? In 2007?
