Subject:  Experience in Sw courses


Hi stefan:
Good luck in your course as you know our group here in Brazil gave SW
classes, I think about 35 students (deaf and hearing) passed by our classes.
Tips ? hints ?
I don' t know, there are many comments to do: first, how is the sign
language skills from your students ? Fluents ? Cause our classes were all
in sign language and we decided to accept people who can communicate, but
not fluent...we regret it cause these one were not able to follow the
explanations. we had a better experience when the hearing one was an
interpreter. We gave only a basic course, it means that we were focused in
planes, point of view and handshapes, just a notion of simple movements and
contacts to be able to read signs. We dream with an intermediary and
advanced course, but at least now it seems very difficult to achieve. Also
we gave a lot of exercises and practise so that people use effectively sign
writing.
We are here if you still have any question, ok ?
