Not An Ordrinary Class…..
Ok, so Mr. Bogush has asked us to write a post about something we know nothing about. (Yea I know, the easiest thing to write about, right?) So…I started of think things I know OF, but not ABOUT.
Then I remembered my sister talking about this class she is taking at college. It is called Deaf Linguistics. I had no idea what type of class this was, so I decided to research it. It turns out, its actually pretty cool.
Linguistics is the scientific study of a language. Someone who engages this subject is called a linguist. Then, I talked to my sister about the class. She said that the teacher is in the front of the class, and uses sign language. Then someone is usually beside her or off to the side somewhere translating for the class. They learn all about sign language, what its like to be deaf, about the deaf community and its culture. She says its one of her most interesting classes she is taking.
