New Zealand Sign Language Week


In New Zealand we have a very important week, which is called Sign Language week. Sign Language week symbolises the deaf community, which gives them the understanding of their language and culture. To communicate with this language, they use body movements, hand signs, and face expressions. Above shows the completed presentation that I created, based on what NZSL is, facts about NZSL, and the greetings. I have imported a video that explains the different hand signs of different greetings. New Zealand has 3 official languages, which are: English, Maori, and Sign Language. This week is held from the 6th of May to the 12th of May. Did you know that more than 24,000 New Zealanders are using Sign Language everyday.

  1. Kia ora Mele, this is a wonderful post you have created about NZ Sign Language. I love how you have included key facts about the language and also included examples through a video. I didn't know that more than 24,000 people are using Sign Language each day, what an awesome fact.
