Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) Level 2 ► Equal Dreams

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.

Schedule

  • Total contact time: 20 hours (10 sessions of 2 hours each) + 1 assessment session*
  • Estimated preparation time: 2 hours per week (Readings / Video Homework / Optional Reflection)

*Certificates will be sent out at the end of the course to those who attend and pass the assessment

Pre-requisites 

(1) Completed and passed Equal Dreams’ SgSL Level 1 within the last 6 months
OR
(2) Passed Equal Dreams’ Level 2 entry assessment. If you’re unsure whether to take the entry assessment or go to Level 1 instead, please take our proficiency check for Level 2.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand and apply basic classifiers in SgSL
  • Better appreciate Deaf Culture and its nuances, as well as the diverse lived experiences within the community 
  • Develop an understanding of SgSL linguistic rules at the intermediate level
