Congratulations to the following organisations.
TASMANIAN DEAF SOCIETY
Name of Project: Deaf Heritage Preservation
Funding: $14,500.00
The Tasmanian Deaf Society (TDS) is a non-profit community based organisation

to achieve their goals'. The Deaf Heritage Preservation project
is to make and compile videos in Auslan, which preserves the language,
history and culture of the Tasmanian Deaf community from the last 70 years
to date, as a resource for other generations to access.
DONOVAN CRESDEE (SPONSORED BY DEAFNESS FORUM AUSTRALIA)
Name of Project: Signed Discourse Narrative Teaching
Funding: $3,800.00
The main aim of the project is to investigate the comparison between
three main approaches to teaching the role of Auslan contextual coherence
and referential cohesion within a particular text-type of narrative, particularly,
in terms of their major characteristics, approaches, designs and procedures.
The teaching approaches used in second or foreign language teaching are
the genre-based approach, the functional-notional approach and a teacher's
own personal teaching methodology.
For the most part, this project seeks to find out whether the hypothesis
supports the idea, which states that the genre-based approach used within
this specific situation is the most effective and appropriate teaching
strategy other than that of the functional/notional approach and teacher's
own personal teaching methodology.
