This on-line course is an affordable and effective way
for anyone wanting to learn BSL from the comfort of their own home. This course
can also be a perfect complement to any foundation or intermediate BSL course that
you have attended at college or approved centres.
Normally, foundation BSL courses consist of 30 weeks tuition for 2 hours each week.
Between classes there is little in place to assist you. For example, if you have
forgotten a sign you will have to wait a week before you can see that sign again.
With our ever busy lifestyles it is not always convenient to leave
your home to attend a class.
This course offers a fresh approach to learning the language and
developing your skills. The aims and objectives of this course are to enable you
to acquire a basic ability to communicate with deaf people using BSL. Also to provide
students with information about deaf people, their community and culture.
Being a web-based course, it is designed to help you learn at your own pace:
anytime, anywhere convenient to yourself. You have total control over your learning.
With the use of digital video, all the words and phrases are demonstrated so that
you can see the signs and copy them. You can repeat the exercise again and again,
which is exactly what we encourage you to do.
This course teaches you using a conversational format. Each lesson consists of one
or two brief conversations. The different BSL features are then discussed and built
upon each session.
