British Sign Language
• Rich and complex visual spatial language
• BSL has its own grammatical structure and syntax
• It is not a word for word translation of English
• BSL uses facial expressions to convey intonation and tone
of voice
• UK Government recognised BSL as a language in 2003
• Sign language is different in every country

are not proficient when reading and writing English

![Page 14: Deaf Awareness Training - East Sussex · Deaf Awareness Training Radha Starr . Course outline Relaxed, fun and interactive •Terminology •Types of deafness •Communication tactics](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f053f927e708231d41204f3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Lip-reading exercise!
• Let’s have some FUN and LEARN!
• Break into pairs
• Assign one person as ‘person A’ and other as ‘person B’
• Please remember not to use your voice or even whisper!
![Page 15: Deaf Awareness Training - East Sussex · Deaf Awareness Training Radha Starr . Course outline Relaxed, fun and interactive •Terminology •Types of deafness •Communication tactics](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f053f927e708231d41204f3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Lip-reading
• Most words beginning with V/F, P/M/B normally look
similar. Try and say Pan, Man, Ban
• Lip-reading is 30% accurate and 70% guesswork!
• Some people are easier to lip-read – clear speech is
important
• Lip-reading requires a good understanding of English

Tips on how to communicate
with a deaf person
• Make eye contact and speak slowly
• Slow down – just a little slower than normal as if you
speak too slowly, it will distort your lip pattern and make
the conversation boring
![Page 18: Deaf Awareness Training - East Sussex · Deaf Awareness Training Radha Starr . Course outline Relaxed, fun and interactive •Terminology •Types of deafness •Communication tactics](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f053f927e708231d41204f3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tips on how to communicate
with a deaf person
• Speak up – but don’t shout! It can hurt when you hear it
through a hearing aid and makes you look aggressive
![Page 19: Deaf Awareness Training - East Sussex · Deaf Awareness Training Radha Starr . Course outline Relaxed, fun and interactive •Terminology •Types of deafness •Communication tactics](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f053f927e708231d41204f3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Tips to remember
• Repeat – but no more than once or twice. If the
person still doesn’t understand, try rephrasing what
you are saying
• Use clear speech, mime and gesture
• Write it down, the best and quickest method for names
especially
• Minimise background noise if possible
![Page 20: Deaf Awareness Training - East Sussex · Deaf Awareness Training Radha Starr . Course outline Relaxed, fun and interactive •Terminology •Types of deafness •Communication tactics](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022053001/5f053f927e708231d41204f3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
More tips..
• Position yourself in good lighting
• Ensure your face/mouth is clearly visible
• Clarify the subject and let the deaf person know when
you change it – it is easier to lip-read when they know
what the subject is about
• Use plain, everyday English and keep things to the point
– long winded conversations are tiring and frustrating
• Speak one at a time and never say ‘never mind’ or ‘it
doesn’t matter’
