Each Deaf participant will learn the linguistic principles and specific methodology required to take materials from a written form and translate them into clear, accurate, natural and acceptable sign language.

Working as a team they will be trained to:

  • Understand the written text
  • Determine how to sign the concepts in the text
  • Work on correct placement and spatial issues (linguistic essentials in sign languages worldwide)
  • Assign a lead signer
  • Review the complete signed version and make corrections
  • Record the signed material on camera in a video studio

This will involve working with video studio operations including:

  • Setting up lights
  • Working with a green screen
  • Operating a camera
  • Signing in front of the camera
