Pirone, John S.; Pudans-Smith, Kimberly K.; Ivy, Tracy; Listman, Jason D. – Foreign Language Annals, 2023
Although American Sign Language (ASL) education for second language (L2) or additional language (Ln) learners in postsecondary education has increased rapidly over the past four decades, not much is understood about the field. The scholarship of ASL education is relatively new, and little is known of the perspectives of ASL professionals in ASL…

Blair, Bradley – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2021
According to a recent Modern Language Association Report, American Sign Language (ASL) has displaced German at the college level in the United States to become the third most frequently studied language with between 100 and 200,000 students enrolled since 2013 (Looney & Lusin, 2019). ASL is an option for fulfilling foreign language…

Jody H. Cripps; Russell S. Rosen; Sheryl B. Cooper; Ronald Fenicle; Aimee Sever-Hall – Language Teaching Research, 2024
Second language (L2) learning has largely occurred in the traditional lecture-based classroom setting. Studies show that the lecture format has an impact on student outcomes and perceptions of classroom learning. Negative impacts include insufficient time for reinforcement activities, reviewing lecture materials, and engaging in conversation…

Beal, Jennifer S. – Sign Language Studies, 2022
Second-language learners of American Sign Language (ASL) often struggle in the acquisition of more complex ASL aspects, such as role shift, constructed action, and eye gaze to represent characters and their actions with narratives. These learners also often overestimate their ASL skill level. This study investigated errors in second modality,…

This is a qualitative case study on the motivation to learn American Sign Language (ASL) by hearing students at a community college in the United States. Nine ASL students, attending a community college in North Carolina, were interviewed about their primary motivations for learning ASL. Eight motivation categories emerged from the data. The…

Vercellotti, Mary Lou – Sign Language Studies, 2022
Experience with a visual-spatial language may influence certain cognitive processes (Keehner and Gathercole 2007). Spatial ability is an important cognitive skill (Linn and Petersen 1985). Some research has found that deaf signers outperform hearing nonsigners on certain spatial tasks (e.g., Emmorey, Kosslyn, and Bellugi 1993) and that hearing…

Katelyn B. Wilson – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Self-assessment is an emerging topic in ASL/English interpreter education that is being recognized as critical for students completing the degree-to-certification process and needs to be thoroughly explored. Using Scaffolding Theory and self-assessment drawn from Self-Directed Learning Theory, this exploratory, qualitative interview study…

Kulsar, Steven T.; Seal, Brenda C. – Sign Language Studies, 2022
D/deaf children of Deaf parents reportedly begin learning finger-spelling as young as thirteen months old, but deaf children born to hearing, nonsigning parents lack natural access to the native (spoken) language of their families, often exhibiting later language development. Forty-four deaf adults participated in a fingerspelling test of…

Marc David Holmes – ProQuest LLC, 2022
In 1964, Deaf and hearing stakeholders convened at Ball State Teachers College in Muncie, Indiana, to discuss the state of signed language interpreting in the United States. One topic of discussion was the competencies these interpreters should exhibit. Four decades later, Witter-Merithew and Johnson (2005) described American Sign Language…

Gil, Leslie; Collins, Laura – Sign Language Studies, 2022
This study examined the corrective feedback Deaf teachers used to target handshape, movement, and place-of-articulation errors in introductory American Sign Language (ASL) classes for hearing students. Although feedback is underresearched in bimodal second language (M2-L2) pedagogy, there is some evidence that teacher practices may differ from…

Frederiksen, Anne Therese; Mayberry, Rachel I. – Second Language Research, 2019
Previous research on reference tracking has revealed a tendency towards over-explicitness in second language (L2) learners. Only limited evidence exists that this trend extends to situations where the learner's first and second languages do not share a sensory-motor modality. Using a story-telling paradigm, this study examined how hearing novice…

Williams, Joshua; Newman, Sharlene – Second Language Research, 2016
In the present study we aimed to investigate phonological substitution errors made by hearing second language (M2L2) learners of American Sign Language (ASL) during a sentence translation task. Learners saw sentences in ASL that were signed by either a native signer or a M2L2 learner. Learners were to simply translate the sentence from ASL to…

Rosen, Russell S. – Sign Language Studies, 2018
When learning a third language (L3), learners, according to researchers, generally rely on a variety of resources, such as their L1 (first language), L2 (second language), and/or their current knowledge of the L3. Although studies have identified a number of factors that may influence a learner's choice of the source of transfer, these works were…
