![]() ![]() My day job is being a full-time tenured ASL Instructor at California State University (Sacramento). I'm Deaf/hh, my wife is d/Deaf, I hold a doctorate in Deaf Education / Deaf Studies. I've been teaching American Sign Language for over 20 years and I am passionate about it. Signing is a useful skill that can open up for you a new world of relationships and understanding. I'm glad you are here! You can learn ASL! You've picked a great topic to be studying. ![]() ![]() ![]() Students shouldn't have to pay outrageous amounts of money just to learn sign language. This cartoon (adapted with permission from the artist) sums up my philosophy regarding curriculum. Another very real and important part of the Lifeprint ASL curriculum project is that of being able to use the "magic" of the internet to provide a high quality sign language curriculum to those who need it the most but are often least able to afford it. Thus, going through the lessons sequentially starting with lesson 1 allows you to reach communicative competence in sign language very quickly-and it is based on second language acquisition research (mixed with a couple decades of real world ASL teaching experience). Then I took the concepts that appeared the most frequently and translated those concepts into their equivalent ASL counterparts and included them in the lessons moving from most frequently used to less frequently used. I compiled lists of concepts from concordance research based on a language database (corpus) of hundreds of thousands of language samples. The main series of lessons in the ASL University Curriculum are based on research I did into what are the most common concepts used in everyday communication. If you actually have time to read this email can you answer a question.We need a bigger list of signs, would you recommend me going through the lessons or are you working on a "more signs" page of maybe 100 to 200 of the most commonly used signs?. " and pull up the bookmark of your web page. We constantly go through the "What's the sign for. We have a vocabulary of 124 signs (most of what are on the 100 signs page). I have a perfectly healthy 2 year old that refuses to talk. ![]()
