EffectivenessThese
2 CDs have filled a void for learners and teachers of Irish Sign Language.
Signs are demonstrated in three dimensional animated video footage. This
is essential as signing involves both visual display and movement in a three
dimensional way. In our school the CDs are used by the teachers as a self
teaching tool, by older students at school and at home (with the inclusion
of family in the learning of sign language) and by younger children with
the guidance of their teachers and parents.The Sign Away Phrasebook directly
translates a signed phrase into English and also a literal translation of
how the words are signed. This offers the teacher of the Deaf an insight
into how sign language is structured. |
