Auslan Language Documentation

Here at Euka, we are committed to providing quality educational resources for English language learners — but did you know that we also support study in additional languages as well? That's right — we offer support for those who want to learn Auslan, the Australian sign language! Our aim is to help students from Foundation to Grade 10 develop proficiency in this unique and important language. In this article, you'll find links to all the resources you need to get started and succeed in your Auslan studies!

Before you begin, it's important to know what material the Euka Auslan Language curriculum covers. For a full outline of what you'll need to know, please refer to our Foundation to Grade 6 Auslan Scope and Sequence and Grade 7 – Grade 10 Auslan Scope and Sequence documents. These documents provide an overview of the topics and skills that are covered in our Auslan courses.

Now that you have an idea of what our curriculum covers, let's take a look at some recommended resources to help you with your studies!

The Learn Australian Auslan Level 1 course is the perfect way to get started with your Auslan studies. With 40 videos, this course provides a full year of weekly lessons for students of all ages. For high school students, one lesson a week may be more suitable — in which case, feel free to adjust the pace to fit your learning style. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and all videos are subtitled to make learning Auslan accessible and enjoyable.

If you've already completed the Level 1 course or you're looking for a more advanced option, then the Learn Australian Auslan Level 2 course is for you. With 23 videos, this 6-month course covers frequently used phrases and words that are essential for becoming fluent in Auslan.

Finally, the Learn Australian Auslan Level 3 course completes the series by building on what you learned in Levels 1 and 2 and focusing on health-related topics. This 4-week course is great for students who want to cover specific areas of Auslan in-depth.

If you're looking for resources for younger grades, we recommend checking out Sally and Possum. This ABC TV program uses Auslan with English voiceovers, making it engaging and easy to follow. You can even download free apps to practice the signs you learn from the videos. With a variety of videos available, you can easily adjust the pace to fit your learning style.

We hope that this article has provided you with all the necessary resources to succeed in your Auslan studies. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team via LiveChat. Happy Learning!
