Course info

Course Description: In this presentation, participants will learn basic principles behind glossing— a way to represent ASL in written form. We will also have practice activities during which participants can apply what they have learned so they can carry it into their practice. 

 

Agenda: 

20 minutes: What glossing is/isn’t, what it’s useful for, and what it shouldn’t be used for 

20 minutes: Glossing contentions: Descriptions followed by activities 

20 minutes: Applications and practice

 

Learner Outcomes:

  1. Participants will be able to identify appropriate uses for glossing in clinical practice.
  2. Participants will be able to demonstrate (emerging) mastery of glossing conventions as they pertain to clinical practice.
  3. Participants will be able to use glossing information as part of the student/client assessment, to note student/client progress, and/or to write goals for clinical practice.
