Mr Loveday's little outing

Posted on Wednesday, March 25, 2015 by Ana Concejero

Last year, my students from the VTC in Sign language carried out the staging of Mr Loveday's little outing, a story about madness written by Evelyn Waugh, a British satirical novelist who was born in London in 1903.

An awesome project in which they used three languages: English, Spanish and Sign language.

Here you are all the activities we did :

1. Mr Loveday's little outing audio by Víctor Rosado.

2. Adapting the story to stage it.

3. Dress rehearsal and Sign Language.

4. Premiere at the School Hall.

5. The making of Mr Loveday's little outing.

An unforgettable experience...

My sincere thanks to Emilia Díaz García for her great contribution and help.

She walks in Beauty

Posted on Thursday, March 31, 2011 by Ana Concejero

Another brilliant contribution to our project by some students from the Vocational training course in Sign Language.
I read the poem and they performed it in American Sign Language.

She walks in beauty, like the night
   Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
   Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
   Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,
   Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
   Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet express,
   How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,
   So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
   But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
   A heart whose love is innocent!

Textbooks?...What for?

Posted on Tuesday, March 16, 2010 by Ana Concejero

Do you really think that with textbooks in our classes, students would be able to imagine and create works like the ones below?
Students from the Vocational Course in Spanish Sign Language, as one of their final assignments, had to perform an English song in International Sign language.
An enjoyable way of learning English and adapted to their studies and needs:
. They learn vocabulary, grammar and expressions by working on the lyrics.
. They practise pronunciation.
. Finally, they perform the songs.

A real pleasure to share them with you.

Amazing, isn't it?

The other students' works coming soon.

Some useful videos for you:

Signing goodbye

Colours in ASL

Are there many differences between American and Spanish sign language? And between American and International sign language?

Watch this fantastic video: "I Gotta Felling" by The Black Eyed Peas, performed in sign language by Stephen Torrence and Shawn Bracketty.
