FAQ about Conversational ASL Online Classes
What is the goal of this class? The purpose of this class is for students to continue to practice their ASL skills in conversational settings. These classes are not based off of a curriculum and are more unstructured than previous levels (ASL 101 through 404). The idea is to replicate more of a "conversational" setting where stories are shared. This helps build fluency in both receptive and expressive skills.
Are classes recorded so we can rewatch if we miss a class? No, I do not record my classes for people to watch at a later time. A couple of reasons for this is: 1.) It takes a lot of space on my computer to record and save ten 90 minute classes a week. 2.) The purpose of these classes is to attend in-person via Zoom so I can provide you with immediate feedback on your signing. You cannot learn as well from recordings as you can from having live feedback. 3.) Some people do not wish to be recorded, so I respect everyone's privacy.
