Content description

Elaborations
  1. finding and using phrases that have direct translations between Auslan and English, for example, Goodnight, Happy birthday
  2. shadowing a story in Auslan as a pre-interpreting skill, noticing which phrases and concepts need more unpacking
  3. demonstrating the use of a bilingual online dictionary (Signbank), for example by looking up various meanings of the word run and comparing variation in signs for the concept in different contexts, and using it to translate Auslan texts into English and vice versa
  4. using resources such as Signbank to identify words which might not have a direct sign equivalent, for example, jewellery, pets and other collective nouns
  5. translating segments from popular children’s texts such as fairytales or short stories into Auslan, considering why some elements cannot be translated literally
