About the course
NZSL level 2b is a follow-up course to NZSL level 2a. This course will extend the receptive and expressive skills of students at an intermediate level. This course is suitable for those who have completed at least 75 hours of NZSL tuition.
By the end of this course, our students will be able to understand and use NZSL to hold conversations, recount information, give instructions and tell simple narratives. Also we want our students to understand and use common NZSL grammatical structures, appropriately use a range of conversational behaviours and discourse strategies in NZSL. We also focus on helping students to understand the cultural context for using NZSL with Deaf people.
So why not give it a go and learn NZSL today. We offer a range of learning scenarios from group face to face classes through to One on One learning.
