Hearing impaired student is limited to hearing abilities because of congenital and/or postnatal hearing loss. Because of the hearing loss most hearing impaired students cannot pronounce distinctly. Therefore many researchers who had studied on hearing impaired students’social and emotional adaptation abilities misunderstood that hearing impaired students have specific social and emotional disturbed. Two hearing impaired students who are fifth grade in regular class environments were participated for this study. The 20 target vocabularies from science subject of the fifth grade were selected from five teachers. The Korean Meadow/Kendall Social- Emotional Assessment Inventory for Deaf Students were utilized for this study. The social and emotional adaptation abilities were collected by regular class teacher before teaching the coined sign language. Also the social and emotional adaptation abilities were collected by regular class teacher were gathered after coined sigh language. The results of this study were that (a) the coined sign language was effective to improve the social and emotional adaptation abilities; and (b) there were not any specific social and emotional characteristics for the hearing impaired student. Therefore this study concluded that the social and emotional adaptation abilities for hearing impaired students were influenced by language interaction.
