Learning outcomes

The student knows the elements (lexico-grammatical) of the Italian sign language, with references to the regional varieties - he is able to use them in medium-complex communicative situations.

Course contents

Students will learn both theoretical and practical content of sign language. They will address topics related to deafness, elements of linguistics and Lis syntax, history of the deaf and school education in Italy. They will deal with deaf psychology, deaf pride and ontological destiny, as well as professional ethics and deontology. They will delve deeper into the Italian-Lis mediation process, the themes of accessibility and inclusion, as well as translation and interpretation. They will study Denise Cokely as a pivotal author of the interpretive process in Sign Language.
