Exercise 5. Read the article and answer the questions
MAKATON
Did you use Makaton when you were a child? Many people did. Today over 100,000 people, children
and adults, use it in more than forty countries! So, what is Makaton? And which country speaks it?
In fact, it isn’t a normal language. There isn’t a country where people speak Makaton because it’s an
invented language. But it is very useful to a lot of people. In 1970 three researchers at the Royal
College for Deaf People invented the language for people who had problems communicating. It was for
people who couldn’t hear, people who had learning problems, people who had problems
communicating, and especially for young children who were slow learning to speak.
Makaton uses movements of the hand and body, and expressions on the face together with spoken
words to communicate. It’s possible to communicate more than 7,000 ideas! When the speaker starts to
use spoken language (like a young child) he uses Makaton and words and then stops using Makaton
completely. For other people with bigger problems, Makaton helps them ‘talk’ to other people. For
example, it can help them take part in games, read and tell stories, and show how they are feeling
Margaret Walker, Katherine Johnstone and Tony Cornforth created the language and their wonderful
idea helps a lot of people today. The name of the language is the first letters of their names.
