Objectives:

This fun-filled course will continue exploring the world of South African Sign Language (SASL). Building on the foundations laid in the SASL A1 course, the A2 course offers further insights into the linguistic and cultural norms of SASL as a language, and into Deaf culture. In this course we will delve deeper into the grammar of SASL. This course is ideal for people who work with Deaf colleagues, the public, or parents of Deaf children with a beginner’s knowledge of SASL. Non-signers of SASL who want to extend their knowledge will also find attending the course valuable.

You will practice the language using our online video material and work in pairs or small groups. Certain sessions will be facilitated by SASL interpreting, and course material is available in English.

Having successfully completed the SASL Beginner A1 course is a prerequisite for attending this course. If you have completed a beginner course elsewhere, you will need to do an oral assessment before placement.
