"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, preparation and research by including Auslan teaching 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 powerpoint listing every sign and sentence taught in that subject module.
- 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.
- Scope and Sequence information is available via email (we have over 150 powerpoints answering every 'elaboration' point across 10 key categories) saving the teacher hours of unpaid, after-hours research.
- 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.
