De llengua a llengua

Thanks to the support and collaboration of the General Directorate of Language Policy and Management of Multilingualism, Language to Language is born, a multimedia material available for Android and iOS, freely accessible, also in web format and in Valencian, for learning. of the sign language that follows the guidelines of the MCERL and that, in addition, incorporates basic notions on the idiosyncrasy of the deaf community, its history and its culture. This APP is a leading project, created with great enthusiasm with the common goal of facilitating access to learning the language and culture of deaf people, which takes advantage of the possibilities that new technologies provide us, and responds to the demand of society. One of the objectives of the FESORD CV is to ensure accessibility to communication for deaf people and ensure respect for sign language. That is why among the lines of work of our organization we find the teaching of sign language, thanks to which we also make known the culture and idiosyncrasy of the deaf group. From language to language aims to meet the basic learning needs of sign language in society at large. For this reason, visual tools and resources have been used to promote an autonomous teaching and learning process. The use of multimedia resources such as animations, games and videos in sign language that favor the real-time visualization of the language and the dynamization of the explanations made. However, the material is designed to arouse interest in sign language and encourage progressive learning; to spread and promote the knowledge of sign language from Valencian; bringing the history and culture of the deaf community closer to society at large; to give more visibility to the group of deaf people and to normalize the use of sign language as a minority language present in our society. The APP has a symmetrical structure that aims to facilitate the learning of sign language from a simple, dynamic and intuitive platform. In this way, the material is conceived as a journey along six islands where each island represents a teaching unit in which students will acquire basic notions about sign language and the deaf community.
