The Level 2 BSL (Signature) course is three hours a week for 33 weeks. There are three assessments, the first one a receptive DVD, the second a presentation to the camera and the thirs a conversation with the tutor on camera. This qualification is designed to enable learners to develop an ability to communicate with Deaf people using British Sign Language (BSL) in a range of familiar contexts, participating in longer and more open-ended exchanges than at Level 1.
The course will develop functional communication in BSL about a range of real life, routine and daily experiences. The learner will be able to deal with most routine language tasks and have sufficient grasp of grammar to cope with some non-routine tasks. Learners will also be taught a number of regional variations in sign language.
The specification has been designed to be consistent with the National Language Standards at Level 2.
