Hi everyone!
Welcome to the Vocational Sign Language on Tourism Project. Our project is a Strategic Partnership and Cooperation project within the frame of Erasmus+Ka2 Vocational Education. This project has been funded by the Turkish National Agency. The main objective of the project is to prepare a distance learning system to help the tourism employees learn the sign languages of different countries.
Our project has been designed under the title of “KA202 - Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training” within the frame of “KA2 – Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices”.
In our project, initially, computer engineering studies were carried out and a system called LMS (Learning Management System) was created. All training content and assessment and evaluation tools to be designed and prepared will be uploaded to the LMS. Within the scope of our project, German, Portuguese, English and Turkish sign languages were handled. We will design and produce the A1 and A2 level sign language teaching curriculums, tourism-oriented sign language teaching curriculum, teaching contents for these curricula and measurement&evaluation tools for the sign languages of each partner country respectively. Upon the completion of the project, we will also have presented a tourism terminology sign language dictionary containing the terms that are most commonly and frequently used in the tourism sector.
This is a two-year project and the coordinator institution is the Izmir Chamber of Tourist Guides. Other partners are Blue Window Special Education Association and IMPARK from Turkey, Doncaster Deaf Trust from England, RWB Essen from Germany, NCA from Portugal.
