In 2017, Hamburg’s Ministry of School and Vocational Education published a curriculum for German Sign Language. Among other things, it lists the competencies to be acquired in German Sign Language as well as the associated requirements and content. These are divided into 8 levels, which are assigned to the respective grades at comprehensive schools. This enables the conception and planning of lessons on German Sign Language as a teaching subject and required elective subject.

The delegs editor is an online platform developed during a project aiming to facilitate written language acquisition for deaf people to enable their inclusive participation in the job market. The platform can be used to translate written texts into sign language. The translated texts are then suitable for contrastive comparisons of German and German Sign Language, for example.
