SUMMARY:SignLex
DESCRIPTION:South African Sign Language (SASL) holds a unique position in the linguistic landscape, recently recognised as the 12th official language in our country. But where does it fit in discussions on indigenous languages? This session unpacks the development of academic SASL terminology, challenges experienced by SASL module lecturers, and the urgent need to address the gap in academic SASL digital resources. Discover how UKZN’s digital platforms and projects like SignLex tackle accessibility gaps to ensure Deaf students participate equitably in academia. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on language inclusion, digital accessibility, and equitable access to education for Deaf students in South Africa.\nNote: The discussion in this session will be bilingual, featuring both isiZulu and English.\n \nPanelists: Ms. Londeka Ntshangase, Ms. Nokuthula Khumalo, Ms. Nqobile Biyela-Sawula\nModerated by: Dr Thulani Mkhize\n
