A BSL linguistics lesson…🙌 A classifier handshape represents a group to which a noun belongs. It can be inflected to convey rich information in a sentence. Watch how Kate suggests Patrick use the classifier for legs instead of his actual legs to avoid her getting kicked!!
BSL Interpreted performance! We are delighted to bring you our British Sign Language Interpreted performance. This is where an interpreter is onstage interpreting the words and songs. They are suitable for:

Another great session with Tourism Northern Ireland. Surely those friendly faces would make anyone book a flight to our lovely country! ✈️ Really inspiring work going on with Tourism NI and it’s super to be a part of it. @TourismNIreland
As Peter says, if you don’t know our language and community you’re missing out!! irishnews.com/life/health/th…
Great to team up with the @TitanicBelfast today for a super day of connection and learning. Our thanks to Rob and his guides for their insight and inspiration. 🙌 Massive thanks for @RXNI_Comm for funding today’s event.

discourses of linguistic deficiency are rife in England’s education system. rooted in classist, ableist, and racist assumptions about language, they frame marginalised children as responsible for their own struggles and deflect attention away from the state.
Always wanted to learn sign language?Check out the amazing events going on at @TheMACBelfast over Easter. Performances, workshops, activities and more! themaclive.com/your-visit/dea…
Well, that’s us now. What a wonderful Sign Language Week it has been. We hope you have enjoyed some of the content and stories we have produced to persuade even more people to take up learning Sign Language and more about deaf culture. #SLW2024 #TimeToSign
In NI, there are 4,500 BSL users; that’s quite a community with a further 1,500 using Irish Sign Language. This makes it the 2nd most used language in the UK after English, so it’s well worth learning it. Read our blog: thisissignsource.com/welcome-to-our… #SLW2024 #TimeToSign
