In our Singapore Sign Language Level 3 course, students will delve deeper into the various features of SgSL that they have learnt in Level 1 and 2, while further strengthening their foundation in SgSL grammar and syntax.
This also includes learning more advanced expressive skills in SgSL by further exploring the use of unique features in signed languages, such as the grammatical use of signing space and mouth movements. Students will also further explore topics relevant to the Deaf community and participate in discussions on these topics.
