    The Incredible People Who “Wrote the Textbooks” on Taiwan Sign Language (TSL)

    2018年,台灣通過《國家語言發展法》,正式將台灣手語 (Taiwan Sign Language, TSL)納入國家語言之一。臺灣聾教育,以及臺灣手語的發展,都是從日治時期開始。而在臺灣聾教育的歷史中,有一位相當重要的人士:林文勝先生。他是創立於日治時期,現今臺北市立啟聰學校的第二任校長,同時也是位聾人。究竟臺灣聾教育與這位林校長有些什麼關係呢?這次的FORMOSA FILES中文版在2025年12月時來到臺南,訪問兩位臺灣手語教育的先驅:史文漢(Wayne H. Smith)老師以及丁立芬老師,由他們來與我們一起聊聊,臺灣聾教育與這位「三個第一」的林文勝林校長。

    Chen has a backstory that would work well for a film. At 13, he left Taiwan for Vienna. His parents stayed behind as he entered a rigorous training system—the kind few young musicians today would be expected to endure. “My parents basically had no idea what I was doing,” Chen said. “In the first ten years, I only made two phone calls a year. Letters back and forth would take months,” he recalled.
