Ongoing Projects
Asia Pacific Sign Linguistics Research and Training Program
Date: 01/01/2003 - present
Overview:
The Asia-Pacific Sign Linguistics Research and Training (APSL) Program, funded by The Nippon Foundation, is a multi-country and multi-phase project that aims at developing sign linguistics as an academic discipline and providing sign language research training to deaf people in the Asia-Pacific Region with an ultimate goal of Deaf empowerment. Teams of professionally trained sign language researchers will be generated to support the establishment of sign linguistics research and training throughout the Asia-Pacific region, which ultimately promotes the concept of incorporating sign language into deaf education at different levels.
At present the programme consists of four phases:
- Phase I: Practical dictionaries of Asia-Pacific sign languages (2003-2007)
- Phase II: Asia-Pacific sign linguistics research and training programme (2006-2012)
- Phase III: Asia Pacific Sign Linguistics Research and Training Program (2012-2018)
- Phase IV: Asia Pacific Sign Linguistics Research and Training Program (2018-2023)
