Studying at DCAL Last year, degree level teaching was challenging with blended learning (some sessions online, some in person). This year we are mostly back face to face teaching which is a relief! We still offer degree-level modules ‘Deafness, Cognition and Language’, ‘Sign Language Linguistics’, ‘Deaf Culture’ and modules on interpreting and on BSL. For postgraduate students, we still offer the MSc in Language Sciences with specialisation in Sign Language and Deaf Studies, which attracts students from around the world. This year we are excited to have a new addition to our teaching portfolio – i.e. contributions (lectures and case studies about language and cognition in deaf people, delivered by Dr. Kate Rowley) on the newly established BSc in Audiology, run by the UCL Ear Institute. Find out more about the courses we offer on our website.

We are opening our International Literacy Centre (ILC) seminar series with a double-book launch. Sam Duncan's 'Oral Literacies: When Adults Read Aloud' (published in January 2021) and Rachael Levy and Mel Hall's 'Family Literacy: Reading with Young Children (published in April 2021) both present findings from recent research that challenges traditional or dominant notions of reading. Together these two books, both published in the Routledge Literacies Series, examine how reading operates in homes with young children, how and why adults may read aloud and what this means for the ways in which reading is viewed and valued in various contexts today. We are delighted to welcome Julia Gillen, the Routledge Literacies Series editor, to this event who will expand on this by drawing out salient themes from the two books.
