[Sw-l] SignWriting Symposium 2015: 12 Presentations

Wed Jul 22 15:54:24 UTC 2015

Again, enjoying watching from home!
Just chiming in to say that I've had the pleasure to see in person Stefan's
students working with this program and was very impressed with how
effective it is.
One nice thing is that Stefan not only asks them to use the program to
compare DGS and German, but also to compare DGS with Signed German. In this
way, even if students use Signed German as a bridge for understanding
German grammar, they can also clearly see how DGS grammar differs from
Signed German.
Thus, the use of Signed German in this context need not undermine students'
acquisition of Signed German. :)
