This course reinforces and develops SgSL skills acquired from our Level 1 course to build students’ language competency to an intermediate level. Through direct and complete immersion in a no-voice, SgSL-only environment, students will be able to strengthen their expressive and receptive SgSL, while working towards having longer, more complex conversations that involve event sequencing and narration of experiences.
Prerequisites
(1) Completed and passed Equal Dreams’ SgSL Level 1 within the last 6 months
OR
(2) Passed Equal Dreams’ SgSL Level 2 Entry Assessment
It is recommended to pass the SgSL Level 1 at Equal Dreams in order to qualify for the SgSL Level 2.
If you haven’t taken Level 1 with us but have prior signing experience, please complete our Proficiency Check Form. Based on your responses, we’ll advise whether you should proceed with the SgSL Level 2 Entry Assessment, or if starting with SgSL Level 1 would be more suitable.
If your proficiency check indicates you’re eligible for Level 2, we’ll reach out to you with the next steps.

How to make our sentence signing easier to understand with the help of classifiers, eye gaze, etc; role playing of characters. This is what i was hoping to learn in a true sign language course because it is so visual, esp for my Deaf friends to understand, as compared to signing with SEE.

Much deeper learning and appreciation for Deaf language and culture. [My instructor] does a great job to bridge the gap for me, as a hearing person.
