The American Sign Language Lab is open to enrolled ASL students across all levels. It is housed within a shared space in Diffenbaugh, and has evolved to become an integral component of the ASL program. Lab sessions provide students with opportunities to apply foundational language knowledge in small group settings. We are excited to announce the re-opening of the ASL Lab in Spring 2023 following major renovations! Current lab schedules can be found within the ASL course Canvas site.
ASL Lab facilitators are selected based on performance in the ASL courses and can earn independent studies credit by simultaneously enrolling in the associated Applications of Research course (SPA 3801), which fulfills a requirement for earning Honors in ASL. In addition to developing their own signing skills, these positions provide students with foundational opportunities to explore the evidence-based underpinnings of facilitating language, which is paramount to future careers.
