This will be a continuation of parts 1-3 of exploring ASL. Students will need to have some previous ASL education in order to get the most out of this class. In this 4 week class students will learn more about American Sign Language. We will be covering more vocabulary, ASL grammar, ASL hand shapes, ASL classifiers, 4 parameters of ASL and more in depth conversation practice. During this course we will be working on daily sentences as well as some fun educational exercises!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Education from Concordia University
I love American Sign Language and I enjoy teaching this beautiful language. I have taken 4 years of formal ASL classes. I have also taught middle school ASL in a traditional classroom setting. I have also been teaching on Outschool over a year and have taught over 500 learners! I also enjoy signing songs in ASL for different events. This class will be fun and low key, but students will learn many new signs in a short time.
