Learning outcomes
The student knows the basic elements (vocabulary-grammar) of the
Italian Sign Language - he/she is able to use them in elementary
comunicative situations.
Course contents
The course is centralized on the learning of the LIS and on the
knowledge of the basic grammar and vocabulary.
The practical part will be held alone in LIS, and it is determined
to start the student on the introduction of a visual-gestural
language, which uses the sight, the hands, the expressions and the
entire body for communicating, with understanding and production of
basic phrases of the daily speech. At the end of the course, the
student must be able to communicate in LIS on arguments of everyday
life.
The theoretical part of the course is finalized to relatively
supply the basic acquaintances of the linguistic structure of the
LIS (phonologic, morphologic and morfosyntatic aspects) and of the
history and culture of the deaf world.
