The year has started! The
ASL-LLC is excited for our event next week!
We have invited the LLC course instructors as well as the LLC advisor to
our community. We plan to play Deaf
games and socialize. We are using this
opportunity to develop friendships outside of the classroom. We will be working together for the remainder
of the school year, so it is important to know and feel comfortable with the
members of our community.
By playing Deaf games, aspects of Deaf culture are being introduced to
the LLC residents. What makes this
opportunity so cool is that residents get to experience the culture first
hand! Facial expressions and body
language are a huge part of ASL. By
playing Deaf games (some are common among the hearing culture as well, such as
charades) students will experience how important facial expressions and body
language is. Along with introducing Deaf
culture, this event will allow students to start actively using the language
they have chosen to study. This is a
great opportunity to start applying what is taught in the classroom to the real
world.
