15th anniversary of Sign bilingualism and co-enrolment education events

Date: 31/12/2021

Sign bilingualism and co-enrolment education model has been implemented in Hong Kong for 15 years. This model has been developed into a ‘through-train’ education model for deaf students from pre-school education to secondary education as well as tertiary education, and established inclusion in society where deaf students can fully participate in. To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the model implementation, the centre launched a series of activities in 2021-2022 with support from the Labor and Welfare Bureau, to promote the education concepts of “sign bilingualism” and “co-enrolment” in education. The activities aim to promote sign language to the public, so people can understand deaf culture and deaf people’s needs in communication and education through experiential sign language activities. We hope the public would understand that sign bilingualism and co-enrolment education model enables deaf and hard-of-hearing students to enjoy equal educational opportunities, academic and social development.

The following are two of the major promotional activities that the Center has organized.

專業講座及研討會

是次的專業講座及研討會分爲講座及體驗工作坊兩部分。講座及體驗工作坊會以「平等教育」爲基礎,讓教師了解「手語雙語」作爲一種豐富的視覺媒介和視覺教學策略、如何可以配合不同學生的學習需要,和如何建立「共融教育」的學習氣氛讓學校學生學習彼此尊重、接納和欣賞差異。

由於疫情關係,是次的專業講座及研討會把參加者分成4個獨立的房間並同時觀看講座。並在講座結束後把老師們分成不同的小組 (中文科、英文科、數學科、特殊教育) 並進行手語雙語體驗班。
