Class Experience

Would you like to learn American Sign Language through activity-based instruction? Learning through interactive games is a great way to pick up a language. That's why this entire class will be centered around ASL games. For this online class students will learn the basics of fingerspelling, several beginners' signs, and a bit about deaf culture through friendly competitions and group activities. 

Below is a rundown of how this one-time class will operate. The class will be split into 15-minute quarters with five minutes at the beginning and end for introductions and reflections/wrap up. 

First 5 minutes - Introductions
First 10-min quarter - We will go over the basics of American Sign Language and its surrounding culture. 
Second 15-min quarter - We will go over how to fingerspell the alphabet. 
Third 15-min quarter - We will play a game pertaining to fingerspelling the alphabet and also learn some new vocabulary signs.
Fourth 10-min quarter - We will play a final game to review the day's lesson content. 
Last 5 minutes - Reflections/Class wrap-up

Learning Goals

Students will learn to fingerspell the entire ASL alphabet and basic greeting signs. Students will also gain knowledge on common practices in the deaf community pertaining to their visual language.

I have a communicative level of ASL, having been exposed to the language from the age of 2. I skipped my community college's first level ASL course due to my prior experience and took my first college level ASL at Community College of Philadelphia. For the past three years, I have been teaching ASL to 6-12-year-olds at a homeschool co-op. I continue with my involvement in the deaf community by regularly attending deaf meetups and events.
