DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A ROMANIAN SIGN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM
DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING A ROMANIAN SIGN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM

Summary/Abstract: The current paper displays the first part of a study regarding a Romanian Sign Language Curriculum developed for university students. Our approach is rooted in the communication theories and adopted a sociolinguistic framework. In the initial part of the article, we have discussed the basic components of Sign Language pedagogy in terms of language structure and teaching competence. The theoretical framework presents an analytical review of the main theories which were used in designing a Sign Language curriculum. Based on this literature review we engaged in our study by creating the necessary educational resources and by planning a Romanian curriculum. The second part of this article describes the focus-groups and the main framework that was used to deliver the training and to assess the participants. The results presented here are just a part of the study that is still ongoing until the end of 2021.
