Summary

This one day workshop will encourage participants to break away from the English structure and instead, consider how to fully convey phrases and sentences with a stronger visual element. This workshop is appropriate for these who work with individuals or groups who may not have strong or any skills in the English language. Tips on how to reduce ‘English thinking’ will be given throughout the workshop, alongside a number of tasks that will be challenging and thought provoking.

We will mainly look at the use of Aspect, Manner and Mood and how to utilise these elements of BSL grammar to maximum potential. The artistic world of metaphors, personification and visual vernacular will be discussed and analysed, in order to give participants a wider range of tools to supplement their visual use of BSL

Learning Objectives

• Be able to understand what makes BSL visual.

• Understand and apply Aspect, Manner and Mood effectively.

• Gain insight and strategies in how to avoid English influence in BSL.
