Signing Exact English (SEE) Sign Language Classes - Beginner Level

These 6 week Signing Exact English (SEE) sessions focus on helping students to grow their vocabulary base, fluency, and expressiveness. Topics discussed will be Total Communication, SEE, ASL, finger-spelling strategies, visual features, muscle memory, confidence building, and storytelling strategies. These classes are suitable for adults (families, educators, professionals, interpreters) and children, ages 12 and up.

Every other week a new theme-based lesson will be taught along with opportunities for receptive and expressive practice. Lessons will be selected based on students' requests for different theme based vocabulary. On subsequent weeks students will apply the new vocabulary using books, songs, games and other various applications that encourage fluency and fluidity. Mini lessons will be taught on the SEE principles, finger-spelling, and visual features that conceptualize this English sign system. Thematic units often include family signs, food, outdoor/nature, bedtime routine, animals, playtime, season themes, sports and activities, action verbs and connecting words.

Class is online from 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm CST.
