[sw-l] Back in action!

[Shane Gilchrist Ó hEorpa]

At the moment, we are sending a request to the Department of Education
for Northern Ireland to get the funding to start a Dual Language
Immersion (integrated) primary school where children, deaf and
non-deaf, will be taught through NISL and English (ISL and English if
in the Western Area of NI) - so I am very glad Kathleen have raised the
point here - it is very important to know how our national sign
languages are being taught etc - most of us are so used to teaching
adults - or even kids as second languages - but to teach our national
sign language as the first language?

maybe some of us in Europe can set up a working group on sign language
curriculum (across Europe) and discuss what is needed what is to be
taught etc

what do you think, Kathleen?
