There will be 1 workshop on Jan 15th;
Using a Little Sign Language to Spark Up Your Lessons
Abstract
In this presentation I will briefly explain code-switching and code-blending, using Spoken Japanese/Japanese Sign Language (JSL) and Spoken English/American Sign Language (ASL). Communication between hearing and deaf people will be discussed, while touching on some aspects of Deaf Culture. Mainly, I will demonstrate classroom applications of the above, using greetings, apologies, numbers, puzzles, songs, as I feel that the addition of a sign language component in any activity can add a little excitement to the exercise.
