American Sign Language Training

Curriculum Overview
Signing Naturally uses a functional, national approach: the language taught is the language used in everyday conversation. Through interactive learning, students develop skills in:

• Confirming and correcting information

• Expressing degrees of certainty

• Asking for clarification and repetition

•  Understanding Deaf culture

Class Environment: All courses operate in an ASL immersion, no-voice environment. Students are asked to keep their voice off during classes.
 

Fingerspelling: Integrated at all levels, improving both receptive and expressive fingerspelling, essential for names and words without established signs.
 

Classifiers: Each level incorporates classifiers, which enhance the ability to show movement, location, and appearance in signing. Classifiers are simple, fun, and practical tools for everyday communication with Deaf individuals.
