Bilingual Grammar Curriculum
(description taken from BGC: ASL & English website.
This is a recording of the 12-hour training offered to teachers in Kentucky about the framework and curriculum of the Bilingual Grammar Curriculum (BGC). Building bridges between a visual language (such as ASL) and one that is exclusively linear (such as English) requires rethinking historical approaches to grammar instruction. It requires adopting alternate perspectives that take into consideration the experiences of the children we teach. BGC proposes that grammar instruction be based on appropriate assumptions about the children we teach and that it takes into account each language's structural principles.
The sequence of instruction in the BGC is based on the concept that successful learning takes advantage of moving from the "known to the new." The framework laid out in this curriculum is characterized by small, sequential steps that build on previous steps in complementary and comprehensive ways. The spiraling approach guarantees success at each step with each objective serving as the foundation for the next.
Training consists of 4 videos. Request training here.
