Strategies for Learning ASL
Strategies
- Build a language community
- Minimize reliance on English as you listen or converse in ASL
- Focus on meaning not individual signs
- Focus on the signer's face, not on the hands for two very important reasons
- Show you understand the signer
this class can be much much more enjoyable when we are able to be interactive
if you miss class someone may have to partner up with me, we're better Together!
Language Community
you benefit from Being Interactive learning as much as you will from my teaching
This room may be used for English most hours but this is not one of them
immersion is key! take advantage of the environment the entire time you are here
Less English
Side note: when doing your ASL homework put in your earplugs or go to a quiet setting. This will help you focus and learn to rely more on what is going on visually
bring your English back for a moment. What are Homographs?
We have the same thing in a little different way in ASL.
Meaning > sign
Think about the meaning of what you are trying to say or what is being said rather than the signs
HOMOGRAPHS are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings.
Homographs
Ex: Bass, Fine, Lead
ASL Examples
Run
Many things run but do they all grow legs to do so?
Example
Fear
Do we fear God in the same way we do bringing home bad grades?
This is a Big one!
Not just for this class but for respect of Deaf culture
Look at me
This is still happening so I feel the need to emphasize this even more
It is considered inappropriate to look away, it gives the impression you do not care
It also causes you to miss important information
Important to understand: if you have a blank stare on your face I am going to think you do not understand me
Understand
This will cause me to repeat until I get affirmation we are all on the same page
Understand
Sign?
Don't Understand
