CLASSROOM NORMS
WHAT TO EXPECT
Students are required to actively engage in every class. Direct eye contact to the signer, not talking while others are signing, and open to receive feedback with pride.
Eye contact with the signer is very important. It’s how he/she knows you are paying attention and getting the information conveyed. Nodding your head is another way to show you understand the communication.
Our goal in the classroom is to communicate in our Target Language, ASL. Talking while others are signing or trying to pay attention is very distracting! Please be respectful and turn your voices off in class.
Even though you are just beginning, gesture and facial expressions along with the signs you’re learning help get your message across.
Don’t be afraid to “Mess Up” as this is how I'm able to give feedback and help you improve.
