BSL FEELINGS & EMOTIONS FLASHCARDS

eBook (Co-Sign Communications (inc DeafBooks) Feb. 11, 2016)
Part of the Let's Sign BSL series of bite-sized topics in flashcard format for learners.

This ebook format provides a handy mobile reference for kindle or tablet, smart phone, Mac and PCs using the free Kindle reader apps. With built-in functions you can make notes, highlight a word on the screen to pull up windows for a dictionary, Wikipedia and even translation.

Viewing options include thumbnail page views allowing users to point to signs that describe how they feel, giving a useful focal point for learning and discussion - or click to single full page flashcard format.

Recent research in the UK by the National Literacy Trust and Pearson shows that tablets and touch-screen technology are an important way to engage new readers from key groups of young children where literacy is a concern and can be more effective in engaging children aged 3 to 5 with reading than books.

This useful format provides a valuable resource for families, teachers and students learning BSL Level 1 and 2 in addition to providing an excellent reference point to explore and discuss feelings and emotions for children and adults with additional language and communication needs.

Within the field of Special Educational Needs (SEN) the use of BSL signs to support spoken language, known as Sign Supported English (SSE), is now widely accepted.

There is also growing support for the use of sign language with all children, from babies onwards, because the visual and kinaesthetic elements can offer alternative channels for language and communication development that can greatly benefit learners.

This application is designed to include all who sign.

Great care has been taken in developing the sign graphics to give meaningful representation of the non-verbal and facial elements involved in these signs in a simplistic and minimalist way that tries not to distort or over-exaggerate.

The signs include: angry, anxious, bored, calm, patient, brave, confident, confused, courageous, delighted, disappointed, embarrassed, emotional, excited, fed up, feelings, frightened, frustrated, stressed, funny, laugh, guilty, happy, enjoy, hurt, sore, interested, keen, jealous, envious, lonely, love, miserable, sulk, miss, pine, nervous, panic, peaceful, quiet, pleased, proud, puzzled, sad, depressed, satisfied, content, scared, sensitive, touchy, serious, shy, shocked, sorry, surprised, sympathise, tempted, fancy, tired, upset, worried.

The facial expressions of emotions are considered by some to be universally recognised and understood. Non-verbal and facial expressions are crucial to all communication and language, and sign languages in particular.

According to research, our body language and facial expressions are thought to account for between 50 – 70 % of all communication - and never more so than when we wish to convey our emotions.
