Welcome to the wonderful world of ASL!
My name is Ms. Fehrenbach and I will be teaching Advanced ASL 3 and Advanced ASL 4 here at RRHS for this 2025-2026 school year. I am so excited and hope you are as well! I am ADDITIONALLY excited this year because our ASL program is growing so well that we were able to offer ADVANCED ASL courses beginning fall of 2023! The more we expose ASL to the world, the more accepting our world becomes of various languages and disabilities.
American Sign Language (ASL) is a visual gestural language used by Deaf and hard of hearing individuals to communicate in place of or in conjunction with spoken English. ASL is the fourth most used language in the United States and is also used in Canada and parts of Africa. In language education we focus on the 5 C’s: Communication, Communities, Connections, Comparisons and Cultures.
The student will learn to COMMUNICATE using ASL while focusing on the COMMUNITIES where ASL is used and how it influences Deaf CULTURE. The student will also learn to make CONNECTIONS between ASL and English as they COMPARE the hearing and Deaf worlds.
