Course overview

This is a Basic BSL course that will cover a range of different topics to help to build the learners sign vocabulary, and perhaps evoke a desire to learn more sign, to enable more communication, with the deaf community!

Course description

This is an online course which will be taught via Zoom and Canvas. You will learn the alphabet, numbers, colours and animals. You will also learn useful information about deaf culture and awareness and basic greetings that can be used when meeting people from the Deaf community. This fun and interactive class will be exciting and engaging. You will do paired work with other learners and get to know your learning group well over the course of the sessions taught. You will be expected to engage with some homework outside the session time to help to build evidence for the learning that has taken place during the class. Full support, help and guidance will be given to you from your tutor and you will be able to contact them through Canvas throughout your course. Enrol and start your signing journey today!
