Hi everyone!  My name is Wendy A.  I am a middle aged woman learning ASL and am eager to meet some other middle aged women also interested in learning and/or practicing ASL…nothing against all you young-uns!!  It’s just that it would be really fun to be able to laugh about some of the finer aspects of growing older as we practice signing together.  So, please, ladies, let’s connect!!!  There’s a great game called Marco Polo that makes it real easy to send and receive videos that you can watch at your own leisure.

I would be interested in signing with you. I am a middle aged woman learning ASL - I am taking a 201 class at this time. I would love all the practice I can get as I am on a trajectory to get a Proficiency Certification in ASL. Please let me know when you are available so we can start a Zoom practice chat!

Hi Teri!  Wonderful!!!  It would be great to practice signing with you!  So, I’m not too computer savvy and am actually not too sure of how this site works.  But, I’ve used zoom and FaceTime, so just need a little help getting started.  How do you and I start communicating privately?

Hello again, Teri!!  So I’ve had a little time to learn about this site and I realize we can do a video chat right on here and that, perhaps, was your intention!  I think it’s a GREAT idea!  We can get to know each other, a little bit.  I am busy in the morning and have a meeting around 4 p.m.   I can sign with you in the afternoon or in the evening/night.  Like you, I’m hoping to become proficient in ASL and I am SO EXCITED to get started practicing!! If you’re interested, let me know.  I can open a room and call it “Mid Age Ladies” and set it for 2 people.  How does that sound?

That sounds great! I am taking ASL201 right now and I meet for class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but am available the other nights of the week and weekends. Just doing a video chat and signing as we get to know each other is perfect. I too am striving for proficiency so the more we can practice the better. I have some time tomorrow (9-6) or Wednesday evening this coming week. Just let me know.

      ASL Research: Signing Participants Needed for Online Study

      By annaboyer · Posted

      Hi everyone! I am a graduate student at the University of California, Davis. I'm desperately looking for individuals who use ASL--especially interpreters--for a pilot study for my dissertation. If you have a spare moment, I would like to invite you to take this completely online research survey. Your contribution to this research will help neuroscientists learn more about how sign language is processed in the brain for those who use both a spoken and signed language. This research has been approved by the UC Davis IRB board. Below is some more information, and the link to the study: --- Study of Sign Language Processing:  What is the purpose of this study? By evaluating participant responses to this short, online experiment, we can get a better understanding of the neural mechanisms that are used to support sign language processing in the brain. Who can participate? We encourage anyone (even hearing parents or individuals who use ASL consistently) from anywhere in the US to participate. Eligible participants meet the following criteria: ·       Between 18-50 years of age. ·       Normal cognitive function. ·       Consistent use of American Sign Language. ·       Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision. ·       High school competency (9th grade) in reading English What does participation look like? This experiment is an approximately 20-minute online study, which should be taken on a laptop or computer. You will be presented with a consent form, a short background questionnaire, and then a decision task. You will see videos of a deaf person signing, then you will press a key on the keyboard in response. Here is the link to the study: https://research.sc/participant/login/dynamic/DFB825B2-1571-4380-9CBD-D666D51DAAB9 Additional Project Information: This study was approved by the University of California, Davis IRB (an ethics board) [2402245-1] Your information will be kept confidential and in a secure database. If you have any questions, please contact Anna Boyer at [email protected] or 330-357-1277.
