Deaf Awareness Week
Around 250 charities and organisations will be promoting Deaf Awareness in events taking place across the country this week, coordinated by the UK Council on Deafness. The week aims to highlight the different methods of communication used by deaf, deafened and hard of hearing people in the UK, including British Sign Language
British Sign Language is the first or preferred language of a huge 70,000 people in the UK. CILT’s Languages Work website provides information on how to become a British Sign Language interpreter, as well as a case study describing the experience of Linda, a BSL interpreter for the BBC.
CILT will be providing information for teachers and managers involved in or interested in providing British Sign Language courses for adults as part of this year’s Adult Education Languages Show. Catherine White from Action Deafness Leicester will be leading the workshop on ‘Teaching and Managing British Sign Language’ at the national Show, which takes place at the University of Derby on 6 June.
