"Auslan is our passion and our goal is to
provide every Australian student with the opportunity to learn Auslan"
The Auslan LOTE online program aims to be a practical resource for the Auslan teacher by minimising planning and preparation and including videos, grammar information and lesson guides, games and activity ideas in an easy to use format.
Features of this course include:
- 80 plus videos, 800+ signs in 30 major categories, plus videos to practice fingerspelling and sentences to practice Auslan grammar including important grammatical informational videos and notes.
- Downloadable powerpoint presentation with recommended lesson guides and activity ideas.
- Downloadable PDF of each sign and sentence taught in each video. These can be given to students to use as 'memory prompts'.
- Videos have a verbal deaf teacher along with subtitles (in 2025) teaching the course and eventually we'll have 2 deaf people signing in a short 30-45 second video with voiceover and subtitles in 2025.
- Tips and ideas on how the content of the LOTE course can be applied to any classroom using games and classroom activities for Foundation right through to Grade 6.Â
- 100% online. All videos are all prerecorded and no "live" online sessions via Zoom you need to attend.
How you can use this course in your school:
- The Auslan teacher learns the Auslan lesson for the week from the videos and prepares the lesson for teaching Auslan in the classroom.
- The Auslan teacher can view the videos as many times as they wish in order to learn the signs perfectly to teach the students.
- We recommend that the videos are not shown in the classroom as the students need to follow the Auslan teacher's directions without distractions.
- You can appoint an already employed classroom teacher to become the single Auslan teacher throughout the school or each classroom teacher can be the Auslan teacher for their class.
Pricing:
