Course Aim
Successful completion of this qualification can be used as evidence of the language skills needed in order to be able to operate independently and at an high level in the target language. It is useful for those who work on a regular basis with Deaf people (e.g. social workers, teachers of the Deaf, communicators, voluntary workers, workers within Deaf organisations, schools, etc.), those who aspire to work in these contexts, and those who wish to expand their knowledge and skills in British Sign Language.
BSL420
This unit is for learners who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in British Sign Language linguistics and grammar. It will support the requirements described in the assessment criteria of units BSL421 and BSL422 and enable learners to apply their linguistic knowledge when undertaking those units.
BSL421
This unit is to enable learners to understand and be able to follow conversations and discussions, delivered at normal speed, on a range of topics in different work and social situations (including one to one interaction, group discussions and presentations). Learners will take part in detailed social interaction as well as following negotiations, discussions and instructions within their area of work. The learner will be able to follow news items, interviews and documentaries.
BSL422
This unit is to enable learners to use extended BSL confidently in a range of work-related and social situations (including one to ones, group discussions and presentations) and have a good vocabulary, which they can adapt to get a more detailed message across. The learner can keep the conversation going smoothly within familiar areas, and be able to cope in some unpredictable areas.
Students are requested to bring to their interview, proof of their Signature BSL level 3 certificate or NVQ Level 3 certificate and any other certificates relating to D/deaf, DeafBlind or Disability courses they have attended.
Any sessions cancelled by the centre will result in additional dates being arranged at no extra charge
