Making BSL Visual with Gavin Lilley

Friday, 23 June 2023

10:00 am  4:00 pm

Suitable for those who have passed Level 3 and higher.

Attending this workshop will award 6 CPD points.

Summary

This one-day workshop will encourage participants to break away from the English structure and, instead, consider how to fully convey phrases and sentences with a stronger visual element. This workshop is appropriate for those who work with individuals or groups who may not have strong skills in the English language. Tips on how to reduce ‘English thinking’ will be given throughout the workshop, alongside a number of tasks that will be challenging and thought-provoking.

We will mainly look at the use of Aspect, Manner and Mood and how to utilise these elements of BSL grammar to maximum potential. The artistic world of metaphors, personification and visual vernacular will be discussed and analysed in order to give participants a wider range of tools to supplement their visual use of BSL

Learning Objectives

• Be able to understand what makes BSL visual.

• Understand and apply Aspects, Manner and Mood effectively.

• Gain insight and strategies on how to avoid English influence in BSL.

• Utilise visual vernacular, personification and metaphors in BSL.

    • Hi Jenny, that is something they have mentioned but to be honest I've not yet really had any information about them just had a bout of perichondritis it just seems to be one thing after another I have another ENT appointment 28th December I'll ask for some information, thankyou 😊 
    • I've decided to learn BSL because I've experienced sudden onset severe hearing loss in both ears. The ENT has told me there isn't anything they can do to help. I'm in the early stages of getting bone-anchored hearing aids; this process will take about a year. I want to have as many communication tools in my arsenal as possible, especially as my hearing is likely to continue to worsen.   Jenny
    • Hi Dawn, I also suffered from chronic infections with in-ear hearing aids. Have you and your GP/ENT/Audiologist ever discussed bone-anchored hearing aids?  I'm trialling them now and so far it's an absolute game-changer for me. They sit behind the ear and use bone conduction to stimulate the auditory nerve; nothing has to go inside your ear with those.   Jenny
    • So here's a quick introduction to myself. My name is Jenny. I'm a teacher and therapist for children with learning or emotional support needs. I'm learning BSL because I have just recently experienced sudden and severe mixed hearing loss in both ears.  I'm hoping I'll be approved for implantation of bone-anchored hearing aids soon, but that process will take at least a year so in the meantime... here I am!
    • For when you don't know the gender of who you're talking about and when talking to people who are non-binary (like myself).
    • Hello everyone I work in a prison and I’m very aware we have limited resources in terms of BSL. Trying to learn the basics to support anyone who may find themselves in custody 
    • Hi, I am currently doing BSL Level 1 as I have a beautiful 21 month old grandaughter who has unilateral sensorineural deafness.  We had completed some courses through the NDCS and this spurred me on to start my sign language journey 😁
