Research regarding the world language learning experiences of signing deaf persons is limited to date. Much of the literature collected regarding deaf people learning a world language stems from the same sources, focusing on European or Asian contexts. The literature shows much of the world language learning focused on learning English for professional reasons or to satisfy a school requirement. Sign language was not used for instruction in every classroom with deaf students. No studies gathered information regarding students learning a world sign language or studying abroad for academic purposes. With a framework of Vygotskian Pragmatism, this interview study will use semi-structured interviews conducted in American Sign Language to gather information regarding the world language learning or international travel experiences of deaf adults educated in the United States. Participants were recruited via personal and professional networks and represented multiple school settings. Data collected included information regarding translanguaging practices in the classroom and cultural experiences abroad.
