This beginner-level course offers an engaging introduction to American Sign Language, using the StartASL.com ASL 1 curriculum. Students will learn the foundations of ASL, including fingerspelling, essential vocabulary, basic sentence structure (syntax), and grammar. Through interactive lessons and practice, students will develop their expressive and receptive signing skills. In addition to language acquisition, the course emphasizes cultural awareness by exploring the rich and diverse world of Deaf Culture. Students will gain a deeper understanding of Deaf history, community values, and norms, fostering respectful and inclusive communication. This course is perfect for anyone interested in beginning their ASL journey or building a strong base for further study.

We will be using Google Classroom every week for this course. This course runs for both the Fall and Spring semesters. It is designed to fulfill 1 year of foreign language credit for high school.


There are weekly quizzes, a midterm, and a final.

No curriculum purchases are necessary. The student workbooks will be up on the Google Classroom. You MUST have the student workbook printed for each student.

We can print the workbook for a fee of $40.

Materials: $10/semester
