中大X《看我今天怎麼說》
攜手打破無聲隔閡 開展香港手語教育路



「原來聾人戴助聽器之後不是100%聽得清楚」、「原來不是所有聾人都識手語」,這些「原來」隨著電影《看我今天怎麼說》(《看我》)的上映,讓許多人驚覺自己對聾人社群的了解如此匱乏。電影主題曲的歌詞「為何明明你似你我似我 然而無人願辨別像負荷」亦導出了聾人因外表與健聽者無異,在社會上往往被忽略的無奈。然而在香港卻有一班人默默努力,希望社會可以理解聾人的處境,並推廣手語教育,甚至以此作為他們的夢想。3月在香港中文大學 (中大)創博館舉行的「夢想無界:手語教育、社會創業與追夢之路分享會」,就找來中大語言學及現代語言系鄧慧蘭教授(鄧教授)、《看我》電影策劃人屈紫薇女士(Fiona)、語橋社會資源有限公司(語橋社資)總經理黃卓翰先生(Raymond)及語橋社資擔任手語雙語導師的岑愷翹女士(Gloria),分享他們在香港推動手語教育的理念和實踐經驗。 原文網址: 中大X《看我今天怎麼說》攜手打破無聲隔閡 開展香港手語教育路 | 香港01 https://www.hk01.com/article/60222749?utm_source=01articlecopy&utm_medium=referral
