Introduced in the wake of the recognition of the Italian Sign Language (LIS) and the Tactile LIS (LISt) by the Italian State, this course aims to bring those who participate in it closer to the world of LIS and LISt; a world in which communication passes through a different channel from the one we usually associate with (spoken) languages: the visual/tactile/textual channel. 

Lecturer in charge: Danilo Monteverde

The Course of Study recognises 2 CFUs for the basic level course or for the intermediate level course, i.e. it is possible to apply for recognition in the other activities of one module only  (basic or intermediate  depending on one's starting level) for a maximum of 2 CFUs.
