Communication and Interpretation in Italian Sign Language (LIS and LISt)

A) Knowledge and understanding: The student is able to understand a discussion through LIS about both familiar and unfamiliar topics normally faced in life, in social relationships, in study and at work. The understanding of the message could be compromised only by an inadequate discursive structure and / or by the use of idiomatic, or not yet fully encoded, or highly iconic expressions. B) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: The student can apply his/her knowledge to communicate clear information on less common and abstract topics related to everyday life or work situations, and to understand technical and moderately complex discussions. C) Autonomy of judgment: in comparison with other sign language users, the student will be able to measure hs/her competence and to go deep into different levels of expression through imitation - which is one of the basic ways of language learning. D) Communication skills: the student will be able to communicate clear information on less common and abstract topics related to everyday life or work through the LIS, and to understand technical and moderately complex discussions. E) Learning skills: the student will be able to improve his / her expressive skills autonomously by referring profitably to the appropriate consultation tools.
