ASL for Advanced is an exciting and interactive class for students who want to continue learning American Sign Language! This class will be completely silent and is a full immersion class! We will use ASL as our only form of communication; the students will be fully emerged into the language which will greatly help increase their fluency in the language. The course will be very engaging by using PowerPoint slides and demonstrate to teach new vocabulary to the students. Although the course will be silent, it will be very easy for the students to follow along through the teaching style and communication tools used in class. Weekly Class Schedule: Week 1: Introduction - Unique Transportation Week 2: City and Town Topics Week 3: Construction Week 4: Household Items Week 5: Fluency Practice and Translating with Fluff Week 6: Expressions and Attitudes Week 7: Events Week 8: Conversational Vocabulary Week 9: Advanced Shopping Skills Week 10: Translating Songs and Review Closed Captioning is also available for students who need it, please request it in advanced or enable it manually during class. During this course, the students will learn several hundred new vocabulary signs, increase their fluency with conversational skills, advance their ASL grammar, emerge themselves in Deaf culture and signing, and expand their fluency. We will learn through games, activities, stories, demonstration, and lots of practice! During each course every child will be given an opportunity to practice their signs one-one-one with me (as well as with each other) in a silent conversation using only ASL!! This will help the children learn to recognize signs as well as use ASL! This course will be tons of fun!!! If your student already knows 2,000 signs (or more) and is familiar ASL grammar and classifiers, or has taken my previous courses Part 1 through Part 8, then this is the class for them! If not, then Part 1 will be a good starting point, this course is called: Learn to Sign in 10 Classes. I am looking forward to learning, laughing, and signing with your students soon!! Class policy: Each student must have a camera on during this so that I can help them with the correct hand-forms and locations, this is an essential part of learning in this course. Student's will also be engaging and practicing their ASL signs with conversations and their hands must be seen for this. If the student does not want their face seen, they may angle the camera to only show their hands.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be required to have their cameras on for each lesson. This will allow the students to see each other’s hands while signing.
I will be using Screen Share during class to show our PowerPoint presentation. This will be a tool used for the students to follow along with the signs that we are leaning. Since the class is completely silent, only ASL used, the PowerPoint is used as guide for the students.
