Advanced LIS - Linguistics for inclusion

Academic Year 2024/2025 - Teacher: SABINA FONTANA

Expected Learning Outcomes

1) Knowledge and understanding

Starting from the knowledge that each student possesses in relation to the nature and functioning of Sign Language II, the course aims to provide in-depth knowledge of LIS and the problems related to teaching and learning through sign language in relation to the specificities of the deaf community.

2) Ability to Apply Knowledge and Understanding

The course aims to promote the ability to apply knowledge and understanding of the main concepts of LIS teaching and the usage of sign languages in such a way as to be able to support one's own positions on theoretical problems and solve problems relating to this field of research.

2) Autonomy of judgement

Awareness of teaching problems and the specificities of sign language communities will enable the development of autonomous judgement also in relation to the various translanguaging models that have been developed in the 20th century.

4) Communicative skills

Reflection on the workings of language requires the development of a specialised vocabulary that will enable both specialists and non-specialists to provide as technical a description of the object of study as possible.

5) Learning skills

The acquisition of learning skills that enable one to undertake subsequent research paths with a high degree of autonomy.

Course Structure

Frontal lessons and cooperative learning. Should teaching be carried out in mixed mode or remotely, it may be necessary to introduce changes with respect to previous statements, in line with the programme planned and outlined in the syllabus.

Detailed Course Content

The main methodological tools for the analysis and understanding of inclusive teaching strategies based on LIS will be analyzed in relation to various theoretical perspectives of didactics, pedagogy, sociolinguistics, and linguistics. The educational objectives consist in building a theoretical-practical awareness of inclusive teaching through LIS and the issues related to cognitive mediation and translation and interpretation. Various teaching strategies and areas of specialized vocabulary in LIS will be explored, starting from a comparative approach along with the social and cultural aspects of the deaf community.
