Abstract

Sign language is a medium of communication used to teach students with hearing problems and is also used in their daily lives in lieu of spoken language. Although there are individuals with hearing problems who still have the ability to speak the language, their number is minimal, and their verbal ability is very limited. The educational application or aids which are tailored and designed for mobile devices towards sign language is scarce. And there is a lack of teaching and learning aids to assist the deaf community in the learning process and those who are interested in learning Malaysian Sign Language. So, this chapter investigates a preliminary evaluation and previous research regarding the use of information and communications technology (ICT) for sign language. Future studies for this research will help a researcher develop a teaching aid based on mobile devices and enable users to use it as a reference and improve their communication. This mobile application is not only suitable for the deaf community but also for the general public.
