Course overview
Course description
This course will assist learners to learn new BSL vocabulary in a fun and interactive approach to learning. Using a festive song learners will engage in learning the lyrics to the song, followed by the BSL signs included and featured in the song. The course will help learners to develop an understanding of the fundamental differences between BSL as a language and Sign Supported English. This course will help learners to see the benefits of SSE for learners that speak English as a first language but have become deaf or hearing impaired. This course may also be useful for friends and family members to become more inclusive when celebrating Christmas through song.
