INTS6000 International Connections and International Sign among Deaf People Emneplan
Innledning
For nearly two centuries deaf people have circulated in international spaces, exchanging ways of living as deaf people across local, regional and international borders. This course will introduce students in deaf studies and sign language interpreting to the history, motivations, and dynamics of transnational connections among deaf people. This circulation of peoples and ideas over time is explored through framing networks of signing deaf people as composed of translocal as well as transnational methodologies of circulation. Attempts at articulating a shared experience of being deaf across geographical distances will be discussed alongside differences regarding mobility, power and resources among deaf people around the globe. These circulations are enabled through a communication practice known as International Sign, where both conventionalized signs and a broad repertoire of visual communication strategies are utilized to enable communication across different sign language communities. The course will give students a basic introduction to the concept and practice of International Sign.
It is necessary that the participants have a certain level in at least one signed language and also in written English to be able to follow the course, as no interpreting will be provided.
Forkunnskapskrav

Arbeids- og undervisningsformer
The course is organized as a Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) module where students from OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University and Gallaudet University (in the USA) participate. The course topics will be taught as weekly activities that includes use of digital learning tools as well as online interaction and cooperation in both international sign and written English between students from both universities.
The language of instruction and interaction among students is International Sign. Variants of international sign is also used in the video resources. All reading materials and written course resources are in English. No interpreting between any (spoken or signed) languages will be provided, since a part of the learning outcome is to obtain skills to communicate in international sign.
Arbeidskrav og obligatoriske aktiviteter
The student must have the following coursework requirements accepted before examination.
- A minimum of 80 % participation is required.
- The students must be prepared for participation in the weekly asynchronous and synchronous teaching activities by completing the tasks given every week. The tasks include online discussions in International Sign and English with students from the other university, viewing and analyzing various video resources, use of digital learning tools, explorations and expansions of personal communication repertoires and development of visual information related to the course content.
Attendance is mandatory because of the course’s collaborative and interactive feature, where the students are mutually dependent on each other’s presence and participation in order to complete the course’s work tasks. Participation is also necessary in order to develop and demonstrate the skills that are described under the learning outcome section.
Students who are prevented from meeting the coursework requirements within the fixed deadlines due to illness or other valid and documented reasons, may be given a new deadline. A new deadline is in each case given by the course teacher.
Coursework requirements are evaluated accepted/not accepted. Students who submit their coursework requirements within the set deadline, but get evaluated as not accepted, are entitled to a maximum of two new attempts to fulfil the requirements. A new deadline for meeting the coursework requirements is in each individual case given by the teacher.
Vurdering og eksamen
The final assessment will be an individual, recorded and edited 5-8 minute signed presentation of a visual infographic that has been developed during the course in collaboration with a student from the other university than the one where the student is enrolled. The student may choose which signed language they wish to use in this assignment.
New/postponed exam
A new/postponed exam will be in the same format as the ordinary exam. The presentation may be adjusted to the first new exam. To the second new exam a new presentation must be made.
Rights and obligations in connection with exams
The students’ rights and obligations are set out in the Regulations Relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. It is the students’ responsibility to register for any new/postponed exams.
Hjelpemidler ved eksamen
All kinds of examination support material is permitted.
Vurderingsuttrykk
IBC is an advanced English course which builds on the course Professional English (3rd and/or 4thsemester). The main purpose of the course is to further develop the students' knowledge and skills in English so that they can use the language professionally at an advanced level, especially with a view to international operations. The course is cross-curricular since a large part of the syllabus is related to subjects within business and economics. It will prepare the students to deal with real and complex situations in the business world.

Opptakskrav
Emnet handler om faglig og personlig læring og utvikling, om oppdragelse, undervisning og sosialisering. Temaene som helhet skal bidra til utvikling av lærerens profesjonelle skjønn og handlekraft. Emnet skal danne grunnlaget for praktisk-pedagogisk virksomhet. Emneområdet består av tre målområder:
- læreren, eleven og opplæringen I
- læreren og eleven i organisasjonen I
- læreren, eleven og skolen i samfunnet I
Emnet skal gjøre studentene fortrolige med de formelle rammer som læreren må forholde seg til. Hovedtema er forholdet lærer, elev/elevgrupper og lærestoff, ulike syn på læring og utvikling og ulike kulturelle forhold og deres betydning for barn og unges selvforståelse, utvikling og læring. Refleksjon og bevisstgjøring rundt yrkesetiske dilemmaer i skolen står sentralt.
