This course is aimed at students who already have advanced proficiency in Maltese Sign Language (il-Lingwa tas-Sinjali Maltija, LSM). You will use your existing knowledge of the language to build an awareness of linguistic features of LSM, comparing this to other signed and spoken languages. You will learn about different contexts of work, and how methods and styles might work with different learners, as well as the use of assessment and feedback at different stages of the learning process. Building skills as a reflective practitioner, you will consider both student feedback and your own experiences in teaching and learning. Assessments and instruction will be via Sign Language.
