- Summary:
- During the past two decades, the number of colleges and high schools offering American Sign Language (ASL) as a foreign language has grown exponentially. Despite this trend, high school ASL teachers and program administrators possess no concrete information on why students take ASL for foreign language credit, how they learn new signs and grammar, and how different learning techniques determine their achievement in ASL. Learning American Sign Language in High School addresses these issues for the first time to better prepare high schools in recruiting and educating new ASL students. Book jacket.
