Course description

This course aims to equip LOTE AUSLAN teachers, tutors and teacher aides with the skills required to teach AUSLAN in a variety of contexts, and to analyse the learning abilities and needs of their students within the framework of sign language teaching. Students are required to participate in observation and practical experience in teaching AUSLAN as a language other than English.

Course structure

In first year, students study the history and development of deaf education, including the sociolinguistic culture of deaf communities (Language and Cultural Studies A and B). Discussion will include education of the deaf, as well as the representation of the deaf in the arts, media and literature. Second-year studies include the theory of language development and analysis of language learning abilities. In third year, students examine the social context of LOTE teaching as well as undertaking workshops to develop practical experience teaching a language other than English, for specific groups. Students can only take electives in place of core subjects with the approval of the course coordinator.
