Survey Report from the ECML project ProSign: Sign Languages for Professional Purposes (2012-2015): The implementation of the CEFR for Sign Languages in Higher Education: Results of an International Survey

The survey served to underpin our action research approach in two areas: curriculum development and pedagogy. In order to facilitate this, the survey design had the following research questions in focus: 1. To what extent is the CEFR implemented in higher education institutions that offer programs in sign language interpreting and Deaf Studies in Europe? 2. What is the current level of awareness of CEFR amongst sign language teachers working in higher education institutions in Europe? 3. What kind of supports are offered within these institutions to Deaf Studies and interpreter education programs aiming to implement CEFR-aligned curricula and assessment? 4. How are sign language assessments currently carried out in these institutions
