The enchanting music of sign language



Video 1 Christine Sun Kim - The enchanting music of sign language


            ASL ( American sign language ) has exist since 200 years ago around 18th century. ASL was made by combining French sign language and local sign language. The speaker of this video is deaf. She said that a deaf person who lived in this world without sound it’s like a foreigner living in another country by blindly following that country laws without researching it’s origins first.
            In 2008 she went Germany to stay for few days as an artist residence there. In there she counter a problem which is there are no visual art there only auditory. She knows it might be a problem but that does not deter her. To know sound we don’t just have experience sound with ears, but sound can be felt factually or experience as a visual. When she delved into the world of music she found several similarities between music and ASL. ASL worked by broken down to many different grammatical parameters to express different ideas.
            ASL is such a rich treasure that she likes to have the some experience. And she'd like to invite us opening our ears, eyes, and take part in our culture and experience our visual language. And we will never know we might love it.

Gattegno talks of subordinating "teaching to learning," but that is not to suggest that the teacher's role in Silent Way is not critical and demanding. Gattegno anticipates that using the Silent Way would require most teachers to change their perception of their role. Stevick defines the Silent Way teacher's tasks as (a) to teach, (b) to test, and (c) to get out of the way (Stevick 1980: 56). Although this may not seem to con...
