The course includes theoretical and practical issues concerning the cultural and social aspects of the way deaf people communicate (with the presentation of a non-medical model of deafness). The workshops provide for mastery by students of basic knowledge about the social aspects of the Deaf community, Deaf culture and the role of Polish Sign Language (PJM) and other types of sign systems in their lives. Activities include developing students' communication skills in using PJM through conducting practical visual gestural conversations with deaf people. There are two major goals of PJM learning: communication goals and cultural goals. As for the communication, the primary goal of PJM teaching is the achievement of functional communication in the context of the Deaf culture. The goals related to PJM instruction include development of receptive, expressive, and interactive skills as a foundation for effective communication in PJM. Achievement of the cultural goals will enable students to develop greater understanting and appreciation of Deaf culture as well as their own cultures. There are three specific steps PJM students can take to indicate their respect for the PJM and the Deaf culture: (1) Admit that society has taught us to be afraid of human diversity; (2) Begin to accept the view that the deaf Community is a linguistic and cultural minority; (3) Adopt the perspective of the Deaf Community that Deaf people are not handicapped or disabled. |
