But at ISTC-CNR we are linguist, so we also plan to explain why SW is so important for us to study LIS. But our real goal is to make them understand the interest of writing sign language and a method (SW) to do it.<br>Talking about Siena, we work with the "Università per Stranieri di Siena" in our VISEL Project (<a href="http://www.visel.cnr.it/">www.visel.cnr.it</a>), but in this project they just make research on how to teach Italian to deaf people using e-learning: I never hear my colleagues speaking about a SW project with Siena, so I really don't know what to answer you.<br>I hope I answered all you questions.<br>:-)<br>Claudia<br><br><br><br><br>Il 10/10/2011 17:11, Erika Hoffmann-Dilloway ha scritto:<br><blockquote type="cite">How great!
