Teacher teaching himself BSL

[James Bobba Rice]

Hi there everyone

I was doing the BSL online course and was directed here. I thought I'd swing by the forum

I work as a science teacher and I took part in a webinar for helping low ability learners access content we teach. One of the things that got me was some students simply don't know what some words mean and can't spell them. I took it upon myself to try and learn completely new form of language (I know bits and bobs on European languages) to put myself in the position of non-English speakers, low ability and dyslexic students, to go through what they experience 

I am really enjoying learning this and might incorporate it for learners that have selective muteness

If anyone has other resources that have helped you learn BSL, then I would be grateful if you could share those with me 

Thanks for taking the time to read this

James
