Beginner Level
Ready for your child to start learning a new language? In this class your child will be introduced to American Sign Language, a beautiful visual language that makes use of the hands and face to communicate. We will learn the basics of ASL communication including fingerspelling, the do's and don'ts of deaf communication, and basic greeting signs, colors, numbers, food and family signs. We'll touch on a bit of ASL word order and grammar and note the ways in which ASL differs from English....
Students will learn the rules of fingerspelling and basic signing expectations, greeting signs, numbers, colors, foods, family and feelings.
I started learning ASL when I was 2 years old and developed a passion for it ever since. I continued my involvement with the deaf community and learning ASL through attending meetups with Deaf individuals, self-study on Dr. Bill Vicar's (well-known and respected deaf ASL teacher) online university, and a community college class.
Homework Offered
Students will be asked to review and practice the signs they learn in between class sessions. No written homework is required, but students are expected to put forth effort to remember the signs they learn each week.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Students should bring a sheet of paper and something to write with to each session.
During some sessions, I will show YouTube videos of signers fingerspelling very quickly to help students practice their fingerspelling receptiveness. The channel I will pull my videos from is 5 Guys ASL and you can view their videos here: https://www.youtube.com/@5GuysASL/videos I will also make use of Dr. Bill Vicars fingerspelling practice tool. It is an automated fingerspelled word generator meant for working on fingerspelling receptiveness. You can view the link to the generator here: https://asl.ms/ ASL History: The ASL history we will watch in class - https://youtu.be/betAZeKRpR8?si=umkDY2TheNN5KaBR I'll also make reference to points made in a documentary by Gallaudet University concerning ASL history and the many transitions that it has taken throughout the years. Several interviewees were interviewed to adequately present how deafness and ASL was viewed during various points in history. The video will not be shown or shared with students, but the link is provided for parents and guardians to review the content.
