FREE February Class for ASDC Members
While deaf people are bilinguals, they read and write in English. Since ASL is a three dimensional language in constant motion, it is not easy to translate into a written system. Additionally, ASL grammar is conveyed mostly through non-manual signals. These challenges mean glossing is used only as a tool to transcribe and analyze. It is also very effective in improving one’s signing.
This workshop give you a basic understanding of using G-L-O-S-S. JOIN-US WILL FUN!

TIME: 8:00 – 9:30 PM (Eastern time)
