Level 4
Auslan Level 4
Content:
The focus of Level 4 is improving conversational fluency, increasing confidence and competency interacting with Deaf people in Auslan – not just in being able to sign random vocab, but in connecting your thoughts and experiences into conversation, improving both your expressive and receptive language skills. We will have a week with Deaf guests joining us online for conversation practice.
We will also be working towards Level 5 being completely voice off, Auslan only, fully immersive experience, so in Level 4, I will work with you to get to a point where you are able to understand all the instructions to activities in Auslan and feel ready and competent for Level 5.
Classes are interactive, fun, engaging, with lots of hands-on activities to help you learn, practice, revise, and retain new knowledge.
Class sizes are capped at 10 students so there is plenty of opportunity for individual feedback and support.
