ASL Immersion Weekend 2005 is open to anyone interested in American Sign Language. This includes students of an Interpreter Training or Sign Language Program, interpreters, families and friends of D/deaf or hard of hearing individuals, and special education teachers. ASL Immersion Weekend consists of 12 hours of workshop time inside of a non-vocal Immersion Weekend! Angela’s workshop, as well as your interaction with other participants throughout the weekend, will offer plenty of opportunities to improve your receptive and expressive skills in a relaxing retreat environment. Through exposure, participants will also gain a deeper understanding of Deaf Culture and the Deaf community’s language, ASL. The Immersion Weekend will be conducted without vocal communication, and participants will communicate solely through sign language and visual means.
