We have detected a sample of emission-line galaxies (ELGs) from the PEARS (Probing Evolution And Reionization Spectroscopically) HST/ACS grism survey Southern Fields. The PEARS Southern Fields consist of five ACS pointings (including the Hubble Ultra Deep Field) with the G800L grism for a total of 120 orbits, revealing thousands of faint object spectra in the GOODS-South region of the sky. Using a 2-dimensional detection and extraction procedure, we find 320 emission lines orginating from 230 galaxy ``knots'' within 203 individual galaxies. Line identification results in 118 new grism-spectroscopic redshifts for galaxies in the GOODS-South Field. Our detection method has allowed us to observe emission lines from distinct giant star-forming regions across individual galaxies at redshifts z 0.5. We find that the radial distances of these HII regions generally reside near the galaxies' optical continuum half-light radii, similar to those of giant HII regions in local galaxies.
