hello everyone i’m axel i’m
student at school sainte-marie schools and
deafness which is located next door in
which I did all my schooling I
am currently in secondary 5 and I
introduce you cindy and come hello to
all so my name is city missed me
am a teacher primary teacher at
Sainte-Marie school should say
current and more specifically for the sbm
is pasted on edited to the novel my
work it’s I’m a teacher 1st
2nd primary but for deaf children
in sign language is glued deafness
it is an association that brings a project
inclusion of deaf children within
ordinary classes
you’re going to tell me it’s a big word
to say no to a lot more things
precisely we are two teachers
in the class the francophone teacher
and the teacher in sign language
month and a little peculiarity it’s
that I am not at all an interpreter
so I’m not going to waste on that
my colleague says we are in
simultaneous and we are really working
in collaboration that’s for half
from the school timetable time we
are together for the courses of
mathematics for awakening
however for French classes
as for the language courses of
signs for English classes we
spell falls back in quotation marks his
children in their group place for
put in a smaller group in a
smaller local where I’m alone with
my children are my under students and I
teaches them French
so why are we taking his kids out of this
group simply because access
to the French is not the same for a
child on hearing that for a child
are we need more
techniques of other methodologies he
do not be mistaken
we are obviously reaching the
same goals
we try in every case to wait
the same objectives ie
to know to read to know to know to know
express yourself know how to calculate and live it
together obviously schools and
serenity and the first project progym in
europe of this type and i think axel that
in secondary school more or less
let’s talk a little about high school
it’s true that for them the
secondary is about the same
functioning than the that for the
primary is relatively close so
of course we change course
all teacher hours all
the deaf teacher hours where we
sign language also changes and
we always have these pairs
of teachers that for us it’s very
important
then according to the courses so we
also have some certain
time in common with classmates
hearing and from time to time for a
reinforcement of French for classes
English for others run more
optional we have a need
specific adaptation and in which case
we came out of the class group
for one hour for two hours
so during which time we receive so
courses like other students in the
class but with a methodology
specific to us and each and every
part of the group are advancing so
independent and we come back to the end
of course with the group class so we
functioning as we operate
like that in this sense the sometimes so
separate but with a single lens the one
from before the same program the same
content
at the end of the year but tell me sine
die a little question how is this
that you came to you the language of
signs
it’s a good axel question like you
can see I’m so a
bilingual person game it’s both
to express myself in French and in the language of
signs
by the way I want to thank
pascaline interprets that you mean
now it’s not my voice is this
not that you hear it’s the voice
the interpreter
so you have to know that at the age of 16
years old at the end of my high school
I asked myself the question of my
professional future
so I was at that time
strongly attracted to languages
I already wanted to learn English
Dutch German Italian Italian
French as you see here
now
so I learned these different languages
and then I wanted to
to learn another a little more
particular and I was strongly
attracted to sign language at age
20 years so I signed up for
the first time in language course of
signs
it brings me back now 17 years in
back as time goes by fast
so I have a double qualification it’s
to say I am both a graduate in
sign language is a teacher and
I was subsequently engaged to Namur
it’s been 13 years now engaged within
of the deaf school project
but you know that I remember you well
you were little was 6 years old was
in my class said remembers quite
absolutely it’s true that it goes back and
I still have a lot of memories
with you from his years of his two years
passed with you I really have one
incredible quantity good I chose
a few 2 including which I I
am going to share with you today I
do not know if you see there the picture
oh well here’s their blood in fact it’s
lili the mouse little mouse any
cute
we have the sentence you read it from
simple way it’s very easy but for
us when we are younger
smaller French is already a
second language and for us to master this
denounced gender is already relatively
complex we have trouble making the link
selling signs french words
how is it formulated in
sign language
it’s really a whole member a
learning so we managed to do
and now I master I understand
very well the no it’s the second
remember it’s time to dictate
dictations or dictations here are we
are together in the classroom
the teacher makes his dictation 1
this is the students write they have
no need to keep the teacher in
does not it’s necessary they’re with
him and hear so they write
except that we need to
look for sign language
to watch the teacher and to write in
same time so we use the lpc in
this case lpc means spoken language
completed and it’s a help a tool to the
phonological recognition of words and
it’s true that it’s a help
interesting for deaf children
it’s true that for us it’s a big
is a big help because that we
actually distinguishes the look-alikes
the bio the words that look alike that
we read on the lips and it helps
a lot but it takes a lot more
of time
it takes a lot longer
are obliged to raise the head while
time to see the teachers for
rewrite could not be sure we had
well understood the word we decoded so
it takes time and we had
really a very very very very fast
slowed down compared to the rest of the
class and I particularly remember a
times when during a dictation students
have finished their work
it was time for recreation so
they left in the yard
except that we with this accumulated delay eh
well we could not enjoy the
recreation right now and when we
have finally finished
dictation and well actually we surrendered
account that recess was in phase
ii in the terminal phase actually doing
to end the tea exaggerate anyway
not a little looking forward a little bit
now is what you really have
look unhappy and look at her this beautiful
smile good there it’s me
but it’s true you’re right it’s true
that every beginning of the project we were trying to
follow the francophone teacher
now things have a lot
evolved and the method that we use the
pedagogy that we use a lot
changed so many adaptations
now that we have been able to put in place and
that’s why we go out
deaf children of the big group for the
French class because precisely
has put in place a method
particularly well suited so
that you can keep or still
your recreation time
it’s true that it’s the city season
projects that evolves that necessarily evolves
for us at the secondary level
we’re not there yet with so many
changes as many evolutions this is
true that the project started with the
primary years
so who now are are well into
place there the high school years have
started there are relatively few all of
even so it’s not yet so
succeeded on
we move forward together we resume
some ideas that we confide
change me it’s been five years since I
now high school level and I’m
realize that it already has a lot
evolved then it’s true that school and
deafness it’s really a model
amazing for us we really have a
great thing it’s really a great
luck it’s really amazing this
luck that I have it’s really a
enrichment this French bilingualism
and sign language and students
hearing often tell me but say
so it’s really beautiful the language of
signs like that it’s one to imad 10 to
many times here that
the teacher tending sometimes is less
pleasant and listened to and that the language of
signs it’s really more interesting
it brings an opening and that
call a lot sometimes
also ask but how do you say that
in sign language such words how
how do you do it and it’s really
interesting for us to be able to do
bridges between the two worlds ray of
community and to have this these exchanges
sometimes we also have a lot of voices
small moments of exchange more
informally we really got it
really an interesting moment but you
tell me you are you are a teacher
bilingual but working like that of
monday to friday all week long
must be dead at the end of the week no
ben completely exhausted no so that’s
true that there is a lot of work
to be a teacher in itself is already a
difficult job so now be
bilingual teacher
actually it’s still
a double difficulty to assume
so as I told you I’m not
no interpreter ie I put
myself in work montcourt I adapt the
the course content according to the
program
so you still have to know that by
luck we have a lot of support from the
share of passes and deafness
in fact we have formations
specific especially once a month
Wednesday afternoon the center of
the university of namur is organized a
group
work in which we have the opportunity
to bring our question to have some
particularly interesting exchanges and
particularly rewarding for our
pedagogy and we also have some
weekly meetings between teachers
bilingual and all that is brought to us
by eco deafness so a big
support from them fortunately is
not only to have to realize all these
adaptation attacks now I’m
ask a small question about
you are still young but are you
already know what you want to do
later
so it’s true that I think the
deaf people here today know
what is my dream my dream
would be to make accessible in order to
to bring up sign language at the
television so that we can
to have
here are two information one with one
perfect accessibility actually that’s it
really my goal is so
general schools and deafness
with this bilingualism in construction can
to be able to achieve this
goal easier way now
I may have you some information
that I already have already done a little
of TV
it’s true wow it’s been two years
on March 2, 2016 so two years ago on
the a2 expects just look a little
and now we go to the weather all
first with our satellite image you
see it the next days will be
conducive to frequent showers of
snow sometimes even at low altitude
we will take stock right away on
the situation of that night with
instability still tonight the
wind that builds rain and
the snow mingled over the entire
territory
same nagy alone who could stand on
the heights for
[Music]
are we saying corner and yes then it’s me this
experience me really here it is
really a big emotion for me
I imagine a great emotion for me
it was really a huge step in fact
which has been accomplished here
so this day of March this is all of
after that I had a lot of
people who contact me and who have
asked but say so do you want you go
redo its end and yes I would like
I wish I had
many people told me I hope
that you will really have the chance to
again to reach that time of
realize your dream
good so now is what I
can I really do that I do not know but
I really hope I can hope
renew this experience one day a
next day
I also hope for you we touch the
wood but there is no wood
and you cindy your dream certainly not
the weather that very clearly I can already
tell you so here I already have
teaching is already a job that
I love I am a bilingual teacher
it’s a job I love I’m
also an actress
I am also a musician you are falling
are all three activities
really that I love and I still have
things that I have to realize but for the
most I feel like I already have
realized one of the very big dreams that
I had when I see you now here
as you are me who knew you all
little who was seen growing up
now I see that you are able to
read to write to calculate all these
things you can do
maybe to have more relationships
friendly more affective finally short you
see what I mean and I see you
like that now big bath I tell myself
that somewhere I am doing one of the
little stones that allowed who have you
allowed to become what you are
now it’s true that this little
stone even when brought here is a
certain ease now thank you
a lot and cindy
in sign language yes you can
to applaud like that is what we say in
sign language for loaded seen their
time is fast
do you know what they say
deaf people actually said
that we are when we meet we are
very very very talkative we become very
very talkative and we stay very long
on the spot discussed with this picture of
foot of feet riveted to the ground
really an expression of our own
good go we must stop we have to
go there gave the advanced one wanted
leave room we are rightly said
goodbye thank you very much
bret went well the censor yesterday
