Intermediate Level
This immersive experience is conducted entirely in American Sign Language (ASL), complemented by visual aids, pictures, and written English to support understanding. ⚠️ ASL Zone Alert: This class is conducted exclusively in ASL. Learners are expected to have their cameras on, ensuring hands and face are visible throughout the session. Homework is a vital component of this course, designed to reinforce learning and practical application. Throughout the sessions, we explore ASL storytelling with a strong emphasis on Deaf Culture integration. Interactive activities are woven into each lesson, providing real-life contexts to enhance language skills. Sessions are centered around exchanging narratives and insights, seamlessly integrating grammar and conversational strategies, particularly focusing on questioning and answering skills. By utilizing ASL as our primary communication mode, supplemented by visual aids and written English, this class offers a comprehensive approach to language acquisition. Our goal is for learners to not only achieve proficiency in ASL but also develop a profound appreciation for Deaf Culture. Handouts, homework assignments, and supplementary resources are provided both in and outside of class to support student learning and mastery of ASL storytelling techniques.

Greetings,👋🏽
I'm Jacqueline, affectionately known as Mrs. Jae by my students. Guiding individuals through the realms of ASL is a passion close to my heart. My aspiration is to introduce students to the captivating beauty of American Sign Language and foster a deeper connection to Deaf Culture. Join me in exploring ASL, Deaf Culture, Deaf History, and more, as we embark on a journey of learning and growth.
My purpose is to empower and inspire every student to embrace this captivating language and culture. My ultimate goal? Bridging communication gaps, nurturing confidence, and encouraging meaningful connections within the Deaf community.
My journey in ASL and Deaf Culture has spanned numerous years of continuous dedicated study. I embarked on this path during my high school years. Through my educational journey, I earned a bachelor's degree in Human Services with a minor in Interpreting American Sign Language, and an associates degree in American Sign Language Interpreter Training. My qualifications extend to two certifications; Deaf and Hard of Hearing Education, and ASL Communication Skills.
My connection to the Deaf community remains robust, with ongoing engagement. I've had the privilege to teach American Sign Language in vocational schools and nonprofit organizations. My commitment extends beyond the classroom, as I actively volunteer to raise awareness about Deaf Culture, and ASL.
Here's a glimpse of my annual class sequence, carefully crafted to guide your progress:
1. Welcome to the World of ASL! American Sign Language for Beginners (ASL Part 1): Embark on your ASL journey with fundamental language skills and cultural insights.
2. Grammar in 3D: Beginners ASL Grammar & Sentence Structure (ASL Part 2): Dive deeper into ASL's intricate grammar and sentence construction.
3. Keep Calm and Sign On! (ASL Part 3): Enhance your signing fluency and expressive abilities.
4. Listen With Your Eyes: ASL Part 4: Refine your receptive skills and develop a deeper understanding of signed communication.
5. Hands-On ASL: Intermediate American Sign Language (ASL Part 5): Further advance your proficiency and broaden your vocabulary.
Remember, learning a new language is not only an exercise for the brain, but also a gateway to expanded communication skills and new friendships. I'm excited to guide you on this remarkable journey of discovery and connection.Reviews
