AUSLAN RELATED


DCA SpellBound Finger Spelling Game
If you are struggling with reading back fingerspelling, try practicing with the game for at least 15 minutes every day, you'll be amazed at the results!
 


Auslan Sign Bank
An online Auslan dictionary in video motion.
If you're puzzled with a sign in your Auslan Dictionary and wonder how it is actually signed out, you can check it out in here.
 


Daniel Ashley's Auslan Classes
Are you located in the Torquay/Geelong area and want to learn Auslan? Contact Danny at danashley@aapt.net.au for information on Beginner or Intermediate courses.
 


Discovering Auslan CD
I highly recommend this CD for beginner students and LOTE Auslan teachers who want to understand how Auslan works and fine-tune their Auslan skills. It shows two people conversing in short Auslan sentences in video motion with captioning underneath so you don't miss anything and can pick up the linguistic elements involved. Very enjoyable. Can be purchased from The Auslan Shop.
 


USEFUL RESOURCES


ASL University
Heaps of neat ASL lessons and ideas, generously shared by Bill Vicars, most of which can be applied to Auslan. Excellent discussions on grammar aspects of ASL.
 


Timesavers for Teachers
1,000 Writing Ideas is an useful resource - many interesting and funny topics to choose from. Students can pick a topic and talk about it non-stop for 3 minutes, and others evaluate their Auslan skills.
 


Vocabulary Worksheet Factory
With Auslan Susana 1 fonts, you can create an Auslan wordsearch with this program (30 day trial). This program has 22 different worksheet activities (crossword, jumbled letters, etc) which can be used for English as well. Enjoyed by students of all ages, beginner, intermediate and advanced.
 


Before You Know It
Early in January 2007 I came across this freeware program and found that it helped me learn Hebrew vocabularies "before I knew it!" It is an outstanding vocabulary-memorising tool. With the Deluxe (currently USD $39.95), you can create a flash card list with picture cues for helping Deaf children memorise English words.
 


Dawn Sign Press
VISTA Signing Naturally 1 and 2 has many useful lesson plans, games and activities that can be used for Auslan. We need one similar to this for Auslan teachers (hint hint)
