Understanding Auslan and its history

Anne Bremner presents...

In 2006, Anne Bremner contributed four articles to Vicdeaf's newsletter, Communicate which were well received.  Anne and Vicdeaf then worked together to translate these articles into Auslan.


These translated articles were shown on Deaf TV in 2007 and are now available to watch via Vicdeaf's website!

  1. The Evolution and Preservation of Auslan - Part One
  2. The Evolution and Preservation of Auslan - Part Two
  3. How Deaf People get their Name Sign
  4. Signing Space, Sign Groups and Types of Manual signs

To watch an article, click on the title above that you would like to watch and a new page will open up.  You will find that there are a number of frames on this new page.  The articles has been broken up into seperate clips to make it easier for you to download and watch.

First, watch 'Clip One' and then when Clip One has finished, move onto Clip Two (and so on...)
