Part Time British Sign Language level 1

British Sign Language level 1

Is this course right for me?

British Sign Language (BSL) is the first or preferred language of an estimated 60,000 Deaf people in the UK. This course is designed to enable you to acquire a basic ability to communicate with Deaf people using BSL.

What will I be learning?

You will be learning British Sign Language Level 1 and exploring the background to issues facing hearing impaired people in the community.

How will I learn?

Your tutor is hearing impaired and so will have BSL as their first language, you will learn in small groups in weekly two hour informal sessions. The technique used is similar to teaching any other language where learners are immersed in the language for the duration of the session.

What else might I want to know?

The course is split into three modules which are tested at the end of each module.

They are:-

BSL 101 - introduction to BSL
BSL 102 - conversational BSL
BSL 103 - BSL at school, college or work.

What can I do afterwards?

You will be able to progress on to a Level 2 BSL course if there are available places in the area.
