Throughout this class, students will meet once-a-week and learn beginners ASL signs. This is a beginners class, geared towards new ASL learners. Some of the signs we will learn include the ASL alphabet, numbers, how to introduce ourselves, basic conversation, common words and phrases, family and people, animals, food, school signs, weather, time words, calendar words, verbs and much more! Students will learn about the deaf and hard-of-hearing culture as well. I am fluent in ASL as I have profoundly deaf parents and have been signing my whole life. Because of this, I am passionate about teaching the world ASL and truly enjoy teaching this enriching language. I have years experience teaching and working with students of all ages and a BA degree. Handouts are provided at the end of each class. These handouts have pictures of the signs we learned that day in class. These are intended as an added resource for help with practicing signs outside of class. Students will be given additional enrichment activities to complete throughout the week on their own time. These activities can be turned into the teacher for feedback and grading. Every student will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course. Grades can be added to the certificate of completion upon completing the homework activities. Please refer to the class outline below for a detailed breakdown of each lesson. Late enrollment is allowed in this class. I do have classes for other levels and ages as well as self-paced classes for flexible scheduling. Please let me know if you have any questions about this class or others that I offer. I look forward to sharing and enjoying this language with you!
