DISCOVER SgSL

Singapore Sign Language Workshop: Mala Hotpot Edition
Learn. Describe. Sign. Connect.

Ever wondered how you can describe the shape, size and appearance of food using your hands, facial expressions and visual imagination?

Join us for Discover SgSL: Mala Hotpot Edition, a fun and interactive workshop organised by ExtraOrdinary Horizons (Deaf Singapore), where Singapore Sign Language (SgSL) learning meets an everyday dining experience!

Following our first Discover SgSL workshop, we are excited to introduce another opportunity to participants to explore visual communication, learn new signs and connect with others.

Whether you are completely new to SgSL or looking for a refresher, this workshop welcomes you!

What Will You Explore?
1. Basic SgSL Vocabulary
Learn useful signs related to foods and drinks. Discover how to communicate about familiar food items and dining experiences.

2. Descriptive Classifiers (DCL)
Explore how SgSL uses visual descriptions to express the shape, size, appearance and other characteristics of food.
Instead of relying only on individual vocabulary signs, discover how your hands, facial expressions and signing space can communicate visual information.

3. Introduction to Object-Subject-Verb (OSV) Sentence Structure
Get an introduction to OSV sentence structure and explore how information can be organised differently in SgSL and English.

4. Interactive Activities
Put your learning into practice through engaging activities and conversations with fellow participants. The emphasis is on participation, visual communication and enjoying the learning experience together.
