Learn about the Deaf Studies Research Unit’s research into New Zealand Sign Language and its resources for teaching and learning.
We began researching New Zealand Sign Language (NZSL) in 1997, documenting the lexicon, grammar, and use of the language.

We create resources that support teaching and learning of the language.
