<HTML><BODY style="word-wrap: break-word; -khtml-nbsp-mode: space; -khtml-line-break: after-white-space; ">Bonjour André<DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>j'ai introduit SignWriting en Suisse romande depuis quelques années.... et il est vrai que sur la seule base du manuel (je pense que vous avez utilisé la version française du manuel de Valérie que j'ai traduite?!?!)... les sourds ne sont pas intéressés... c'est trop compliqué... et pas assez illustré. J'utilise personnellement le manuel comme complément au cours que je donne.... les sourds, une fois qu'ils ont eu la théorie avec des exemples, de la pratique dans les cours d'introduction... peuvent aller rechercher les informations dans le manuel.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>les sourds s'appuient beaucoup sur les images et le visuel.... et en ce sens il est important de donner plein d'exemples lors des cours... pour le denier cours que j'ai donné (en septembre 2006), j'ai créé un support powerpoint avec plein d'illustrations.... notamment pour montrer les différentes formes de mains et les symboles qui s'y rapportent... le cours en espagnol contient aussi des illustrations intéressantes à utiliser pour expliquer certains mouvements... je m'en suis donc inspirée pour ce dernier cours.... j'ai donc fait un nouveau support de cours qui mélange exemples, exercices, illustrations diverses...</DIV><DIV>sous cette forme le cours est beaucoup plus accessible aux sourds.... mais... il faut tout de même le faire sous forme de cours... car il est difficile de comprendre les subtilités de SignWriting sans avoir qqn à qui poser des questions.... (la théorie toute seule... même si le support est imagé) est complexe!!</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>ça vaut vraiment la peine d'organiser des cours.... qui permettent aux sourds de se familiariser avec cette méthode!! Une fois qu'ils ont compris comment ça marche, ce sont eux qui font la meilleure promotion de cet outil formidable et qui peuvent l'introduire dans le travail auprès des enfants sourds scolarisés....</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>je suis à votre disposition pour toute autre question</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>meilleures salutations</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>A-Claude Prélaz Girod</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>Le 19 nov. 06 à 14:03, Gagnon & thibeault a écrit :</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
