Course content

TEGN2000 is based on TEGN1103. Through both class room teaching and different types of practicum the student will acquire a broader and more nuanced communicative repertoire in Norwegian Sign Language. Students will participate in more demanding conversations, and be able to understand and express more complex content. In TEGN2000 the student will begin to acquire strategies to adapt their communication to individuals with varying communicative needs, for example deaf blind persons. At this level, students are required to work with flow and coherence in their production of Norwegian Sign Language, and reflect on their own linguistic development in order to identify areas that need further development.

Learning outcome

Candidates

- can understand longer and more demanding discourse in Norwegian Sign Language

- can produce different discourse types in Norwegian Sign Language, using varied vocabulary choice and with a relatively high degree of grammatical correctness

- can use their knowledge of Norwegian Sign Language to identify areas that need further development

Learning methods and activities
