Whether for personal growth, professional development, or community involvement, this course equips learners with the communication tools needed to create more inclusive and supportive environments for Deaf individuals. Course Description The British Sign Language (BSL) Level 1 & 2 course is structured to guide learners through a progressive journey, starting with the alphabet, fingerspelling, and simple daily interactions, before advancing to complex dialogues and storytelling. Key topics include family life, the home environment, weather, transport, work, hobbies, shopping, health, and holidays. Learners will engage with a variety of video dialogues—both with and without voice-over and subtitles—designed to enhance visual communication skills and comprehension. This learning experience not only builds practical sign language ability but also deepens understanding of Deaf culture, encouraging effective and respectful communication. With a focus on clarity, repetition, and gradual development, learners will acquire the skills needed to hold structured conversations, ask and respond to questions, and share detailed personal or professional information in BSL. The course aims to support learners in becoming confident and culturally aware communicators across different social and professional contexts.
