中大雙渠道雙語研究文學士 培養手口雙語專才 迎合社會所需 [明報 |Mingpao]

香港中文大學語言學及現代語言系早在2000年開始推動香港手語研究,並於2003年成立手語及聾人研究中心,致力發展手語語言學、手語教學,以至手語傳譯等相關的研究及培訓。中心總監鄧慧蘭教授發現,本港以至亞洲地區一直缺乏有系統的手語語言學及手語培訓課程,而且外界對手語的認識不足,甚至存有誤解,認為手語只是聾人溝通時才使用,沒有語言結構規律,只不過是連串隨意的動作,難以表達複雜的意思。然而,實情並非如此。無論是健聽或聾人也應該學習手語,手語亦有語法,更可利用語言學理論來剖析。 鄧教授稱,由於手語是視覺語言,打手語時會同時使用左腦處理語言的區域,及右腦分析視覺影像和空間的區域。事實上,外國有不少研究發現,學習手語有助提升健聽人的語言、視覺空間的認知能力,因此,讓幼兒從小學習手語是有助促進腦部發展的。另外,世界各地也有言語治療師利用手語引導患有語言發展遲緩的學童學習語言。此外,教育界提倡共融教育,健聽和失聽的學生會一同上課,教師若懂得口語和手語雙語教學,可同時照顧不同學生的需要。至於醫護人員若懂得手語,便可更有效地跟相關的病人溝通。 有見社會對手語應用的需求日增,中大語言學及現代語言系於2019年開辦「雙渠道雙語研究文學士」課程。課程屬兩年制銜接資助學士學位類別,適合任何學科背景的副學士或高級文憑畢業生修讀。所謂「雙渠道」是指視覺和聽覺兩個傳遞訊息的渠道,而「雙語」則是指口語和手語。簡而言之,就是利用口語和手語,借助聽覺和視覺傳遞訊息;「雙渠道雙語」亦是近年手語語言學研究領域其中一個以雙語理論為框架的嶄新發展方向。 [Details]
