Auslan 2 Classes - Semester 2 2026

The UQU Disability Collective is working with Deaf Connect to bring you an 8-week opportunity to learn Auslan and basic skills to communicate with Deaf people in Auslan on a range of topics happening on Fridays throughout the semester! Auslan is an important skill for communicating more effectively with d/Deaf and HoH students, family members, and the broader community. 

UQU are happy to offer subsidised classes of $55 per person (usually valued at over $195). 

Deaf Connect’s Auslan 2 class is a continuation of Auslan 1, and it builds on the foundational skills already learned. It’s designed to further develop your understanding and ability to use Australian Sign Language (Auslan) in everyday conversations.

The skills that you will learn include: 

• Time (days, weeks, months)

• Daily activities and routines

• Family and relationships

• Food and shopping

• Hobbies and interests

• More complex sentence structures

• Asking and answering more detailed questions

• Giving and understanding directions

• Describing people, places, and routines

• Use of classifiers (handshapes that represent objects/actions)

• Proper use of Auslan grammar (which is different from English grammar)

• Sentence types: yes/no questions, WH-questions, negation, affirmations

Please note: In order to receive your certification for completion of the course, you must attend six out of the eight of the classes that are provided throughout the duration of the course. Your information (name and email) will be shared to DeafConnect for class registration.
