I have seen that many teachers just understand what they are teaching themselves. If the student is have looking confused, they never bother asking them. I think the student should be confident enough to give a quick reply. I believe the student should be relaxed with the teacher and free to say anything he/she desires. I would say that it is the tutors fault if a student is like this.

I want to be an excellent ASL tutor. I would make a student feel free to communicate with me. ASL involves a lot of the use of language. I believe ASL is a natural language which satisfies the linguistic society. If in my class a deaf student is incapable of communicating with the society then I would love to be much closer to him so he/she could at least communicate everything to me.

I am going to teach the student how to use their hands the most. An ASL tutor must know all the sign languages. A tutor of ASL should teach a student finger spelling with the help of English. I will teach the ASL student the alphabets and then go in the depth of each word. Each word will have its individual sign. I have found that ASL also has classifiers which will be specified as signs. A very amazing thing about ASL is that there is no grammatical tense in it. The verbal identification should be recognized.

I will teach a student how to do each event in an order of which they occur. I have found, while teaching ASL, that it is written in capital letters, the term given to it is glossing. Is consists basically of Sign Writing. As long as I have been teaching ASL to the students, I have found out that it is like baby language. When a baby is talking to you, in some way or another you do understand it so, it is related to ASL.

LSM vocabulary, however, seems to have been developed with a very strong Spanish influence and has kept the initialization to this day.

There is "evidence that deaf children benefit from early exposure to sign language points to the need for in-depth sign language training for parents and other caregivers, with special attention to underserved populations such as those in rural areas," (Marschuck 2001 p 9).
