2 resources availableAbout Auslan Resources
Auslan teaching resources help Australian primary teachers introduce students to Australian Sign Language — the language of the Australian Deaf community. Auslan is recognised as a community language in Australia and is offered as a language option in the Australian Curriculum: Languages. Teaching Auslan builds communication skills, fine motor development, and inclusive awareness while giving students a window into Deaf culture and community.
TeachBuySell features Auslan resources created by Australian primary teachers. Browse fingerspelling alphabet charts and practice activities, basic sign vocabulary flashcards, Auslan greeting and conversation resources, number signing activities, song-signing guides, and classroom display materials. Many resources include visual sign illustrations and suggested teaching sequences for teachers who are introducing Auslan for the first time.
Auslan learning promotes inclusion and empathy in the classroom. Students develop an understanding that communication takes many forms and that the Deaf community has a rich language and culture. Auslan also connects to other learning areas — fingerspelling reinforces letter knowledge, sign vocabulary builds word awareness, and learning about Deaf culture connects to HASS topics of community, diversity, and identity. Whether you are teaching a dedicated Auslan program or incorporating sign language into your classroom routines, our collection provides accessible, engaging resources for Auslan learning.
