ProSign 2: Promoting the Quality of Sign Language Teaching in Europe
Category Project
Ausgangslage und Ziele
The research project ProSign 2 will be conducted at the European Centre for Modern Languages (ECML) in Graz, Austria, from 2016 to 2019 under the framework programme Languages at the Heart of Learning. This is a follow-up project to ProSign 1: Signed Languages for Professional Purposes.
Building on the results of ProSign 1, in a first step ProSign 2 will conduct a Europe-wide survey with the aim to achieve an overview of the education and continuing education opportunities for teachers of sign language. The aims of the project are the following:
- Develop a competency-oriented framework of reference for teachers of sign language
- Put together teaching and training materials for level B2, based on various European sign languages
- Develop framework conditions of a European Language Portfolio (ELP) that does justice to the modality-specific aspects of sign languages
The target groups of this project are the following:
- Teacher educators in tertiary level education for sign language teachers
- Persons who are studying and training to become sign language teachers
- Learners of a sign language
