Dear Valerie,
when you do create a listing for Andre could you share it on the list - as
I would like to include such information in my thesis - as I'm trying to
figure out as much as possible how and by who SignWriting is being used-
thanks ever so much! and good luck Andre with for your presentation..

SignWriting List

March 21, 2012

Hello Charles and Andre -

Yes. These are good examples, and also, I know of others too…Because some

may not want their email address posted publicly on the List, I will

contact some of them privately to see, and then get back to you, Andre,

with their contact information…

There are, as far as I know, classrooms that use Sign Languages with

SignWriting, and spoken languages, in a bi-lingual manner, in several

other schools - In the US in the past at the Albuquerque Public Schools in

New Mexico (the program has closed, but the teachers may be available for

presenting about their past program), and for several years in both

French-speaking and Flemish-speaking Belgium and in Brazil there are

specific classrooms that I recently learned about…new ones I never heard

of before...and of course Stefan Woehrmann in Germany - Stefan's work is

so amazing - and I understand that there is a new program starting in

Slovenia, and Lucy has been teaching a program in Poland classrooms of

Deaf children too - that is an exciting one - and deserves more

attention….smile..

So I will get back to you, Andre, with a listing - at least of those I

know about - and for all those who are teaching using SignWriting - please

speak up and tell us about your projects here on the List - we all need

your inspiration and information so we can move forward with our own

programs - it is good to know about other projects -

Have a great day - it is springtime here and the flowers are blooming - we

need Stefan's camera to capture the beauty of the flowers on film ;-))

Val ;-)

The only teachers I know of are in Brazil. There they are using

Brazilian sign language and spoken language every day to improve

literacy skills in both languages.

Give them the name of Prof. Fernando Capovilla at the University of Sao

Paulo.

Also Prof. Marianne Stumpf at the University of Florianapolis Santa

Catarina (UFSC)

Subject: Looking for other teachers who teach bilingual documents to

Deaf students



Hi everyone,

      Centre Jules-Léger (a school for the deaf in Ottawa, Canada) will

celebrate its 25th anniversary in May 2012.  The committee

invited me to give a presentation.  During one hour,  i will talk

about the bridge between a written LSQ (SW) and a written French.

      I am looking for a teacher who would explain how to deal with

bilingual documents (written sign language and  written spoken

language), how to improve the biliteracy in both the spoken

language and the signed language for Deaf students "EVERYDAY"

(not sometimes).  Does anyone know names of the teacher?  Could

the teacher speak English or French?

   I know Stefan Woehrmann.  I am looking for other teachers.   Does

anyone know James Kegl's email address?

   Best regards,

   André
