These links can be used to review vocabulary and grammar, to practice signing and receptive skills, and to learn more about the language and Deaf culture.  \nWhen learning ASL, it is important to find as many opportunities as possible to practice outside of class. Try methods such as signing in the mirror, practicing with classmates in study groups, or attending Deaf events. There are multiple online groups that host gatherings and welcome students who are learning ASL.  \nGallaudet  \nGallaudet University is a college for Deaf and hard of hearing students. Their website includes numerous resources for learning ASL. This link leads to the “Explore ASL for Free” section, which contains videos reviewing basic vocabulary. Click on a topic to view a video of signs within that category.  \nHandspeak  \nHandspeak has a searchable dictionary of ASL vocabulary, as well as a reverse dictionary, where the English meaning of an unknown sign can be referenced. It also contains articles for learning about the language and the Deaf community. This website contains advertisements.  \nSigningSavvy  \nSigningSavvy has a searchable dictionary of ASL vocabulary. It also has extensive articles on topics related to ASL and Deaf culture. The site reviews basic topics like fingerspelling and numbers, and it contains printable posters/handouts and customizable  \nquizzes/flashcards that can be used for practice. This website contains advertisements.  \nFingerspelling Practice Site  \nThis website displays fingerspelled words for practicing receptive fingerspelling skills.  \nClicking the “New Word” button will generate a fingerspelled word. If needed, clicking  \n“Replay” will repeat the word. Then, enter the word in the text box to check accuracy. Settings below the answer box allow the difficulty to be adjusted.  \nNumbers Practice Site  \nThis website, created by the same author as the fingerspelling practice site, displays signed numbers for practicing receptive numbers skills. Clicking the “New Number”  \nbutton will generate a new signed number. If needed, clicking “Replay” will repeat the number. Then, enter the number in the text box to check accuracy. Settings below the answer box allow the difficulty to be adjusted. Additionally, the “Show Number” button displays the sign for whatever number is typed into the answer box.  \nBill Vicars' YouTube Channel  \nDr. Bill Vicars is a Deaf university professor that teaches ASL and Deaf Studies, and his YouTube channel contains video resources for learning ASL at multiple levels, including beginner and advanced. This link leads to Dr. Vicars’ ASL playlists. Specific playlists can be selected for specific learning levels and topics, or students can select “The ASL University Playlist” for a comprehensive series of videos that teaches ASL from the beginning. Each video has captions that can be used to follow along with the signs. This website contains advertisements.","cbCaijOf2AieXlwx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijOf2AieXlwx","pdf",164208,"English","# Academic resources for ASL students\n## Practice methods beyond class\n## Websites and tools\n## Gallaudet\n## Handspeak\n## SigningSavvy\n## Fingerspelling and numbers practice sites\n## Dr. Bill Vicars’ YouTube channel","[{\"question\":\"What does the handout provide for ASL students?\",\"answer\":\"It provides academic links to ASL resources that support reviewing vocabulary and grammar, practicing signing and receptive skills, and learning more about ASL and Deaf culture.\"},{\"question\":\"How can students practice ASL outside of class according to the handout?\",\"answer\":\"It recommends signing in the mirror, practicing with classmates in study groups, and attending Deaf events.
