ISIT A GOOD IDEA TO TEACH SIGN LANGUAGE IN SCHOOLS?
For many deat people, sign language is the only way
that they can make contact with other people.
However, although many schools teach foreign
languages such as Spanish or German, very few
instruct their students in sign language.
‘So, why isntit currently taught in our schools? One
reason is that there arentt enough teachers who have
training in sign language. It isimportant to teach sign
language in teacher training courses, but itis nat easy
to learn. Sign language is not a version of oral
language but an independent language with different
grammar and vocabulary. There are 300 different
types of sign language worldwide, and even the
British and American versions are different. in
adcition, you must use your hands for sign language,
‘$0 you cant do it while you are holding something,
driving, ete. Its a different way of communicating.
Inmy opinion, teaching sign language is worth the
effort. As a deat person, Ifelt alot of anxiety in
secondary school when | wanted to communicate
with my teachers and the students. However, my
classmates leamed some basic sign language. Teaching
sign language in schoo! willimprove the experience of
‘school for deaf students, making it possible fr them to
interact and socialise with their friends.
Sign language is als0 useful for people who serve
customers, ike hotel or airline staff. With 150,000
speakers in the UK, people willprobably meet sign
language users at some point. In adaition, sign language
Js clearly auseful skillto have on your CV when you are
looking for ajob.
Interestingly, university research reveals another benefit.
Learning sign language improves people's understanding
‘of body language, as the speakers must concentrate on
each other's face and movements in their conversation.
Perhaps most importantly, when students leer sign
language, they are taught about inclusivity to include all
students, Sign language teaches students how people in
‘general cope with the challenges of everyday ite when
they have a disability
