What is the focus of this course?
This practical short course will introduce you to South African Sign Language (SASL). The course consists of interactive face-to-face sessions during which the presenter teaches introductory aspects of SASL, involving practical exercises and some explanation of language use. This will enable you to take part in basic conversations related to everyday life.
We will expect you to practice the language using video material available online and to work in pairs or small groups functioning as a check for each other. Certain sessions will be facilitated with the support of South African Sign Language interpreting, and course material is available in English.
This course will assist you to:
Use basic, everyday SASL vocabulary
Interact using simple phrases and sentences to describe, discuss and ask about everyday topics and things you may need or use immediately
Recognise visual input and understand the gist of that input relating to familiar words and basic phrases that deal with things that you or your conversational partner may need or use immediately
Be aware of and respect Deaf culture when using SASL in various everyday social contexts.
A certificate of competence will be awarded following the successful completion of this course.
