Introduction
Sign language is a visual-based language used worldwide, but different countries have their own unique sign language — American, Australian, and British Sign languages are all different.
On the BBC's The Why Factor podcast, host Lee Kumutat explores new narratives around things in our everyday lives.
On this July 2017 episode, Kumutat talks to students and faculty at Mary Hare School, a school for deaf children, and users of British Sign Language (BSL) about the reasons for learning sign language and how and why some deaf individuals prioritize oralism over signing, and vice versa.
