Learning Outcomes of UE

To reach the pass level, the student will be able to exercise the following skills
the overall understanding and active and spontaneous use of familiar signs, very common expressions and very simple statements,
The student will be able to understand and use familiar signs, very common expressions and very simple statements in everyday situations, in relation to the thematic fields of immediate priority, and in compliance with the elementary rules of basic grammar:

* in visual comprehension
perceive and understand simple, clearly signed messages related to basic needs and/or areas of immediate priority, including new messages whose elements are known or recognisable;

* in interaction
using a memorised repertoire of simple signs and expressions, and composing very short, isolated, usually stereotyped utterances to produce less familiar signs correctly, and to maintain communication;
Interact and thus answer and ask simple questions, respond to and make statements, request and give information or instructions in the area of immediate needs or on very familiar topics;

* in continuous production
using a memorised repertoire of simple signs and expressions, and composing very short, isolated, usually stereotyped utterances to produce less familiar signs correctly, and to maintain communication;

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Through the perception of various elements of language (sign language including regional signs and language variants, grammar, rhythm, paralinguistic elements), with respect to the deaf culture, the student will be able to:
* understand signed messages ;
* sign ;
* sign off-line.

Language communication activities
By using body language, i.e,
* the eyes as observation tools :
to perceive the expression of the face and body, the signs and the signing space ;
to understand the sign by itself (without the support of a word).
* the hands (flexibility and speed of execution),
* facial expression,
* body expression (flexibility of trunk, shoulders, arms, neck and head, wrists and hands),

The student will be able to:
* in visual comprehension :
The student will be able to: * in visual comprehension: * in an exchange conducted slowly, signed clearly and in adequate spatial conditions,
The student will be able to: * understand familiar and everyday expressions and very simple statements relating to :
his/her person,
his/her concrete needs,
his/her family,
understand familiar everyday expressions and very simple statements related to: self, concrete needs, family, concrete and immediate environment.
understand familiar proper names;

* In interaction
by using a memorised repertoire of signs and simple expressions, and by composing very short, isolated, generally stereotyped utterances, with many pauses to search for his/her signs, to produce less familiar signs, and to maintain communication;

* in continuous production
using a memorised repertoire of signs and simple expressions, and composing very short, isolated, usually stereotyped utterances, with many pauses to search for his/her signs, to produce less familiar signs correctly, and to maintain communication;
use expressions and produce simple sentences to introduce themselves, people they know, where they live and what they do;

using the following elements of grammar (and related sign language):
* typing,
* affirmation, negation, interrogation,
* the order of signs in a simple sentence (chronological logic in the order of signs)
* spatialization (location of signs in space),
* pointers (personal pronouns, possessives, demonstratives etc.),
* classical directional verbs (simple),
* temporal signs: past, present, future,
* means of localisation: body and eye movement,
* size and shape, personal and situational transfers (elementary level),
