Frequently
Asked Questions

|
Do you wonder if you are tapping
into your full potential in developing your ASL skills? Do you
want to pinpoint exactly which areas you need to focus your efforts to
improve or expand your skills? In this weekend-long immersion
program, you will have the opportunity to interact and build on your
language competencies through fun-filled activities. You'll use the
"5 C" approach to cover the five top competencies which will
allow you to live, learn, work and be active members of the
communities. The 5 C's that will guide our discussions
are: Communication, Cultures, Comparisons, Connections and
Communities. We will talk about topics revolving around you, your friends,
people, cultures, places, things and events! Additionally, you
will learn how to track your progress through a meaningful and
lifelong self-assessment tool. To enrich your learning experience,
be sure to collect data for your ASL portfolio including photographs
and videos!
ASL Immersion Weekend 2009 is open to anyone interested in American
Sign Language: students of an
Interpreter Training Program, Sign Language Classes, interpreters, families and
friends of D/deaf or hard of hearing individuals, special education
teachers, and the D/deaf. ASL Immersion Weekend consists of 12 hours of workshop time inside
of a non-vocal Immersion Weekend! The 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. Participants will communicate solely through sign
language and visual means.
This year's presenter
will tell stories with us during storytelling on Saturday Night.!
