Attention Getting in ASL - ANS 1. you could tap the person. it's importnat that you use your
whole hand to tap e them, not just your index finger. You should tap them on the upper shoulder
area of either shoulder. You should not tap someone on the head or the waist.
2. you could wave your hand. if the person is standing some distance away, its fine to wave your
hand in their field of vision. if they are seated close by, DO NOT wave your hand in their face
3. You could use the floor if its made of a material like wood. if you stomp your foot on the floor,
the person will feel the vibrations and turn to look
4. If you want everyone's attention, you can flash the overhead lights. one or two times is
enough. You should never do it longer than that
5. if none of the methods work, you could get the attention of a third person and ask them to tap
the person you want to talk to
What hand to use? - ANS - if you are right-handed, your right hand is your dominant signing
hand
- if you are left-handed, your left is your domanant.
- when signing, you cannot go back and forth. choose one hand and always use that one as
your dominant hand
The Signing Space - ANS When you are signing, you space you use is typically from your head
to your waist, from elbow to elbow, and about a foot in front of you body. That is a good signing
space. Don't move your arms too far outside those limits, Keep them within the designated
space
Backchanneling - ANS the feedback which a listener gives to a speaker to show that they are
follwong or understanding
- "oh i see"
- a head nod, made either slowly or rapidly
- "yes, I understnad"
If you don't understand the signer you should... - ANS show confusion
- "I don't understand"
,- "can you please repeat yourself"
T/F: Signing is not only in the hands - ANS True!
When you are watching someone sign, it's important that you should look directly at the face, so
that you can see everything. DO NOT keep your eyes on their hands and arms
Snapshots: Immersion in ASL importance - ANS In order to learn a language, really acquire it,
immersion is best. Let's say I really want to learn French. I should go to France, meet French
people, socialize with them, and learn from them. That's real immersion. In the same way, if you
really want to immerse yourself in ASL, you should take these three steps. First, you should
interact with others in an ASL classroom. It is important to take a class in which no voice is
used, because your comprehension will improve. Second, if there is an ASL club in your area,
take advantage of the opportunity and attend regularly. You can socialize with others and pick
up the language better. Third, attend events in the Deaf community. Before going, you should
first ask your teacher if it is all right for you to attend that particular event. If your teacher gives
you the go-ahead, feel free to go immerse yourself, interact with people in the community, and
learn more language. Immersion is important. That's how you will successfully learn to sign
fluently.
Snapshots: Learning ASL is best when... - ANS Are you ready to learn ASL? Remember, all
students learn differently. One student might pick things up quickly right away, while another
might struggle at first. That's perfectly fine. One student might make great progress initially, then
plateau, while another might make small gains at first but then have a breakthrough. It's the
same as learning math. Some students understand concepts quickly, and others make slow
progress. That's okay, everyone is different. As you are going along and learning, if you start to
feel there is a lot of information coming at you, and you get overwhelmed, that's okay. As you
continue to interact with the material, you will start to make connections. Just as a baby is
exposed to lots of information at first and starts to learn, make connections, and finally
understands the world, the same will happen for you. The important thing for you to do is
practice. You should continue to try, and it's okay if you make mistakes. Keep trying and
practicing. Practice could mean attending events in the Deaf community, going to the ASL lab,
or getting together with other students to practice. You could also watch ASL videos online, but
it's important that you watch good models of ASL. You should ask your teacher if the videos are
appropriate. If so, go ahead and watch them. Now, are you ready to learn ASL?
Seating arrangement to learn ASL - ANS ASL, sign language, is a visual language. In the
traditional classroom, chairs are arranged in rows. For an ASL class, that doesn't allow for
effective communication. That's because students must be able to see one another. The seating
should be changed, and chairs should be arranged in a semi-circle. That way, students can see
each other, have clear conversations, and ask each other questions that all can see. It is not so
much a back and forth between teacher and student, but more of a dialogue in which everyone
participates. That's why it is important to have the chairs arranged in a semi-circle.
, Snapshot: What if I can't see what my peer is signing? - ANS ASL is a visual language. In the
classroom, students sit in a semicircle so they can see each other sign. It's important to keep in
mind that you should not block anyone's field of vision. Make sure you sit back in your seat so
that others can see around you. If someone is blocking your field of vision, you should gently
pull them back by the shoulder. Don't pull them back roughly. Don't tap them either, because
that will signal them that you want their attention, which is not what you intend.
Snapshot: Common Misconceptions in ASL - ANS ASL is a natural language that has existed
for quite some time. William Stokoe, (whose sign name is a claw handshape on the head) did
extensive research and published his findings that American Sign Language is a true and
natural language. ASL has its own set of linguistic rules that it follows. However, misconceptions
about ASL still persist. I will explain a few of them to you now. Many people think ASL is a
universal language and used all over the world. That is not true. ASL is used only in the United
States and Canada. Of course, there are regional variations, and signers from different areas
have their own accents. Just as speakers of English have regional differences, such as a Texas
drawl or a New York accent, signers of ASL have regional differences too. Other countries have
their own unique sign languages. Many people imagine ASL to simply be English produced with
the hands, a kind of visual English. That's not true either. English and ASL are separate and
distinct languages. The linguistic structures of English and ASL are very different. Many people
believe that sign languages are simply gestures. They are not. Many signs are abstract, which
means they have to be learned. And, while languages have rules that must be followed,
gestures do not. Often people who think ASL will be easy to learn find it more difficult than they
thought. They realize that ASL is not English, it is not gestures, it is abstract. The linguistic
structure is different. But don't be scared to learn ASL. The important thing is to keep an open
mind.
