4. Translating spoken language into a visual representation of spoken language that:
(a) Uses eight hand shapes to represent groups of consonants and the placement of those hand shapes in four positions around the face to indicate groups of vowel sounds; and
(b) Is used in conjunction with lipreading;
5. Translating spoken English into a system of sign language that is based on the syntax of the English language or vice versa; and
