3 Recap What is BSL? British Sign Language is a visual gestural language A language with its own structure and grammar Not only using the hands but facial expression and body language Has regional variations and is not the same all over the world

4 Recap BSL A language that is open to all in a room There are ways to have private conversations Different styles and registers the same as spoken language e.g. formal, informal, theatrical, intimate, Remember BSL used to be a language that deaf people were taught to be ashamed of Now Deaf people are proud of their beautiful, rich language and is more acceptable Remember English is Deaf peoples second language, they may never have heard the spoken word

5 Recap Iconic Signs Are those, which either look like the object, or the action of of doing something Look Like Action driving painting driving painting Not all iconic signs look like and have an action some just have one either action or look like

9 The Alphabet A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

10 Tips on alphabet handshapes Make sure P & D are clear V fingers are separate and N they are together Remember your hand should be flat for L m n h r and v

11 Tips on alphabet patterns David Kirk Pip When signing Names that end in d k or p the handshape may change from an open hand to a closed hand.

12 Tips on alphabet patterns Sue Les When signing s at the beginning or in the middle of a word two little fingers remain straight and touch quickly When sign s at the end of the word two little fingers curl round each other and stay together for a longer period of time

13 Tips on alphabet patterns Willow When signing w at the beginning or in the middle of a word the fingers make contact at the top of the fingers for a short space of time When sign w at the end of the word fingers make contact and the bottom of the fingers and stay together for a longer period of time

14 Tips on alphabet patterns When fingerspelling any name the last letter is always emphasised and lasts a little longer than it would in any other part of the name When fingerspelling try to using syllables e.g. Sha/ron Chris/tine Jon/a/than

15 Fingerspelling Info Fingerspelling is a small part of BSL It is used for: peoples names place names terms that have no signs Tips: Do not say individual letters but the whole word Do not look at your hands maintain eye contact with person you are signing to

16 Now fingerspell your name You need to say your name at the same time as you fingerspell it Do not: Say individual letters Look at your hands

17 Asking someone s name in BSL English: What is your name? BSL: Name what x? X means pointing and not using lip-pattern saying you or me Tips: Use questioning facial expression Don t say you just point Do not use your voice

18 Introducing yourself in BSL English: My name is.. BSL: Name x.. Tips: Say your name not individual letters Don t say me just point Do not use your voice

19 Who are we? Can we remember how to introduce ourselves in BSL order using fingerspelling Can we introduce the person next to you using fingerspelling Tips: In the Deaf Community it is not rude to point it is part of their language and culture

20 Recap Asking for repetition or clarification in sign Sign what? Sign slowly please? Sign again please? Sorry I don t understand Way over my head Tips: Use questioning facial expression Within Deaf Culture you must interrupt straight away please do not wait until someone has finished.

21 Homework Practical You now have 5 minutes in pairs to discuss your homework. I will then ask each pair to feedback to the group one Do then one Don t on your list. List do s and don ts linked to communicating with deaf people Example: Do Make sure you face the deaf person Don t Walk around when communicating

22 Do Smile It breakdowns barriers and shows you are willing to communicate Face the Deaf person making sure you are not too close or far apart

23 Do Be patient give the Deaf person time to reply and don t turn away too soon Place yourself where the light falls on your face when you talk to a Deaf person

24 Do Do write it down if you are stuck and are having problems with communication. Remember to use plain English, get to the point and keep it simple. Stand still while you speak

25 Don t Shout

26 Don t Talk slowly Turn away when talking. The Deaf person needs to see your face

27 Don t Stand in front of the light Speak all at once

28 Don t Put things in your mouth when talking Talk quickly

29 Don t Leave the Deaf person out because they don t understand

30 Don t exaggerate your lip patterns BUT Make sure your lip patterns are clear

31 Don t Exaggerate H.e.l.l.o Please speak clearly maybe a little slower than you normally would.

32 Don t Don t be afraid to ask a deaf person to repeat what he has said Tap the shoulder from behind. A Deaf person will not hear you coming

33 Attracting a Deaf persons attention Hearing and Deaf people attract attention in different ways. In groups of 3 List how you would attract the attention of a Deaf person You will be asked to demonstrate these to the rest of the group.

34 Attracting a Deaf persons attention Remember Deaf people gain all their information through their eyes. 1 Wave 2 Tap 3 Chain tap or wave 4 Finger pointing 5 Stamp floor or table to gain attention via vibration 6 Flashing lights

35 Greeting s: People you know Hi Alright? Haven t seen you in a while

36 Greeting s: unfamiliar people in familiar surroundings Deaf people do not sign the same all the time, their signing style/manner is different depending on who they meet and the situation they are in. Just as hearing people will use different intonation and register when they are speaking.

37 Greeting s: unfamiliar people in familiar surroundings e.g. the BSL class or in the Deaf club Formal Hello Good morning/afternoon/evening Informal When signing in an informal environment you will notice that body language and signing style is a lot more relaxed. Where in a formal environment it may look a little slower, clearer and body language a little stiff.

38 Showing Understanding To show understanding it is important to nod when you do understand and look puzzled when you don t.

39 Leave taking Formal Informal Thank you Must go Nice meet you See again Bye I m off

40 Deaf people meeting other Deaf people they do not know name x? x where from? school where x? x born where? x means you need to point using no lip pattern at all. Pointing is an important feature of BSL. It is not important when you point within the sentence, but important that you point so all involved in the conversation know who you are signing about.

41 Local Places: Where do you live? Lancaster Carnforth Morecambe Lake District Preston Blackpool Lytham Large cities and towns generally have a sign Small places you may have to fingerspell

42 Introduction Activity You will need to attract the attention of the person you want to speak to Hello / You alright? Name what? Live where? Interests what? Nice meet you / See x again / bye

43 Name Sign When people have mixed within the Deaf Community for a some time they can sometimes be given a sign name. So instead of fingerspelling where is Anne Irving they would use Anne Irving name sign This can be linked to a physical feature that is easily recognised, a habit or lip-pattern linked to their name e.g. lippet

44 Break Time minutes

45 Pronouns When using pronouns / pointing never say the word just point do not say me you etc you he/him she/her them I/me

46 Pronouns When using pronouns / possession never say the word just sign see example mine/my yours/ his/hers theirs

47 Referencing Referencing shows a person or object that is being referred to, by using your index finger. The subject is positioned, or placed, within frame in space by pointing to them in the place you are imagining them to be. When first indicating, or referring, to something, the sign is used with lip-pattern and the subject is pointed at, to give a position. For example, if you were referring to your mother and father you would use the sign and lip-pattern for mother and father then point to a position indicating each of them. In any future reference to them you would simply point to the same place, but using no lip-pattern
