What Are The Five Learning Strategies For American Sign Language

203 Words1 Page

Out of the five learning strategies for American Sign Language, I think strategy number two would be the most beneficial to me for learning ASL over the course of the semester. The strategy is to minimize reliance on English as you listen or converse in ASL. It emphasizes how we are not supposed to take notes during class, and describes how individuals need to focus more on the interactions in class. I typically take a lot of notes during my classes, so I really want to focus on the language by actually interacting with the teacher and my peers. I want to put an emphasis on the student DVD and workbooks. I think they will be a crucial part of being able to retain the information with repetition outside of class. I would also like to find a

    Unbroken, a novel written by Laura Hillenbrand, outlines the horrors of being captured by Japanese troops during the Second World War. Because of the ethics that the Japanese people had, the Geneva Convention was hardly ever followed, and the captives were rarely ever treated well. The Red Cross was blatantly lied to, meaning that to the outside world, the Japanese Prison Camps were treating their husbands and sons well. On the interior, however, it was apparent that the prisoners had to do whatever it would take to survive. Men stole goods, communicated in many ways, and even had ploys to either kill camp officials, or to even run away.

    Sign language is a course that many schools do not offer as an elective or a foreign language credit. The assistant principal of Seton High School, Susan Hollenbach, explained that many smaller and private schools are not able to offer Sign Language as a course because they are unable to find the staffing and resources for the class. School size and student interest is a big factor in deciding what courses will be created because all the electives and languages are student-driven. This means that if more students show interest in taking ASL courses, it is more possible for it to become a class. Also, the administration has to decide whether or not the certain course will take away from other classes and possibly diminish the class size of another class which

  • Conceptualization Of American Sign Language (ASL)

    564 Words  | 3 Pages

    According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), “American Sign Language is a complete, complex language that employs signs made by moving the hands combined with facial expressions and postures of the body.” While American Sign Language (ASL) is the primary language of most deaf North Americans, it is also used by people who are hard-of-hearing. Just like the spoken language, sign language is not universal. In fact, American Sign Language is based on the methods of the French. Also, the immigrants in Massachusetts had their own sign language known as Martha’s Vineyard Sign Language, which is very likely to have been absorbed into ASL (Nomeland and Nomeland, 2012).

However, students should take care not to practice learning techniques they are not familiar with, especially when nearing the exams; as students who, Lan (cited in Bednall and Kehoe, 2011, pp. 205-226) believes, “engage in unfamiliar strategies may induce a high working memory load, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of their study efforts.” Also, both teachers and parents alike should take the practical and relevant steps in ensuring that their students/children are well schooled in the manner of implementing effective learning techniques in their academic life.
