    "content": "English language as a means of communication facilitates global business and commerce. Denying them this important opportunity is denying them the opportunities to engage in global business and commerce in the future. English is also a means of expression or language is a means that can be used by human beings to express their feelings. People with hearing impairment have a lot of challenges because very few people understand their feelings and expressions in terms of their attitudes and needs. Therefore, to expand by teaching them using SEE is giving them more opportunities that they will use outside to express their love, sad moods and general feelings. We must understand that people with hearing impairment have got very few ways and opportunities of expressing their feelings and their attitudes. Therefore, introducing this particular mode of instruction is expanding their avenues to express their feelings. Language is an element of culture. How I wish that people would understand that teaching these people using SEE will expand their cultural expression and lives. Language is a means of expressing our culture and denying these people this particular opportunity of using English as a mode of instruction, especially the sign part of it, is denying them an expression of their culture. This particular mode of instruction is scientifically viable. Madam Temporary Speaker, language can be used for examination in various subjects. English language facilitates several functions in the global aspect of human practices. Language is a means of cultural expression and English language is the most spoken language on earth. Therefore, denying these people the opportunity of learning through SEE is denying them all those opportunities. We will support Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve and I will arraign before her and anywhere else, all the gurus in the field of linguistics to support this Motion and tell the world that it is high time we supported it, to expand the language parameters and the environment of people with hearing impairment. Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve, continue doing research and we shall support you so as to give the people with hearing impairment an opportunity to live like any other person. I support this Motion."
