DAGSBORO, Del. – American Sign Language is now offered as a World Language course at Indian River High School. Courtney Farbman, the ASL instructor, says she teaches students in the half-year course history of the deaf community and basic signing.
“I’m really impressed by how well they are picking this up. This is a very difficult thing for a beginner to learn. ASL does not follow English grammar, so it’s entirely different,” said Farbman. “We’re asking a lot of these students and we’re asking them to keep an open mind.”
DAD Note: ASL classes has been popping up around the state. ASL is a recognized foreign language for college credit in Delaware.
