手語 (ASL) 練習俱樂部

This weekly ongoing course gives those learning sign language (ASL) an opportunity to improve their communication skills by signing with other learners of various skill levels while making new friends.

An important key to learning a new language and becoming proficient is ... using the language!
Is your student learning Sign Language (ASL)?  Are they mastering both how to express themselves as well as understand others when they sign?

We will practice story telling, discuss hobbies, everyday happenings, play games, all while improving our signing skills.  Subjects for discussion or review will be based on teacher recommendation with learner input.  

Class format example(s):
1. *Session will start with a 5 - 10 minute explanation of what will be discussed and reviewed for the day.  *10 minutes students audio will be muted so that we all sign to one another.  No voices used.  *Final 10 minutes of class we will discuss what we learned about the topic in our signed conversations
2. Teacher signs while students watch and draw what they see/understand followed by a discussion of the activity. 
3. Students sign brief stories and the rest of the class takes note and explains what they learned.  
4. Various sign language games
5. Etc....

Your learner will have opportunities to interact with others that share their interest and love of Sign Language. 

*All signing skill levels are welcome but some signing vocabulary is needed as half of the class will have no verbal speaking.

**Please note:  Since sign language is a visual language, students will need their camera on during the class so that the teacher can see if they are forming the correct hand shapes and facial expressions.
