Sign On! was a EU project, that was partially funded under the Socrates Lingua 2 programme. The objective of this project was to to enable Deaf sign language users to use English written language for international contacts on the internet.
The main objective was the development of the 'Sign On!' methodology and materials, using the insights and tools of sign bilingual Deaf education, in an iterative process and in close collaboration with the target group: Deaf students who use email and the internet in their national language and who now want to use the internet for international contacts.
The output: an on-line interactive sign bilingual English course for Deaf students who want to learn English and a multilingual on-line dictionary.
On YouTube you can watch a video about SignOn!, in International Sign.
