ASL Receptive Practice Night is designed to help learners strengthen one of the most challenging ASL skills—understanding what others are signing.
During this interactive practice session, participants will watch a variety of signed conversations, stories, descriptions, and real-life scenarios while developing strategies to improve comprehension. Rather than focusing on producing signs, this class focuses on recognizing vocabulary, understanding context, identifying key details, and building confidence when watching ASL.
Participants will have opportunities to discuss what they observed, identify important information, and learn practical techniques for improving receptive skills outside of class.
Whether you are learning ASL for personal, professional, or family reasons, this supportive practice environment will help you become a more confident and successful ASL communicator.
This class is best suited for learners with basic ASL knowledge who are ready to strengthen their receptive skills.
