I've just come across a Euorpean funded project that developed on-line ELT materials for deaf people using sign language. Might be worth a look http://www.ctad.co.uk/content/view/260/321/ Judith ----- Original Message ----- From: Jo Luff To: [log in to unmask] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 6:25 PM Subject: Re: Profoundly deaf Polish ESOL learner There is an exemption for those who are not able to pass ESOL SFL test due to disability....apply for exemption supported by medical note Tutor can also verify that she has worked on ESOL but is not able to take S/L exams for that reason.

She wants to get Citizenship but cannot pass the Speaking & Listening test. Does anyone know whether the Home Office accepts quals other than S&L? Her reading and writing is good for her level. Barb. From: ESOL-Research discussion forum and message board [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Allegra Carlton Sent: 17 May 2011 11:52 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Profoundly deaf Polish ESOL learner Hi everyone I have just had an ESOL enquiry from JobcentrePlus in Southampton. They have a Polish client who is profoundly deaf but who needs to learn English. Apparently she can read and write a little in English and is presumably literate in Polish, but I don't know if she uses international sign language. Does anyone have experience of supporting profoundly deaf ESOL learners, and if so, please could you make some suggestions as to how this learner can be supported? I'm wondering if any colleges have experience of this, or whether we should be approaching the RNID about it, or Polish organisations within the UK. Any ideas? best wishes Allegra -- Allegra Carlton ESOL and Training Co-ordinator CLEAR, George Williams House, Cranbury Place, Southampton SO14 0LG Tel: 023 - 8022 - 2271 email: [log in to unmask] As from Friday 27 May CLEAR is relocating to 11 Queensway Southampton SO14 3BL.
