Course Details

Learn American Sign Language (ASL), the most commonly used sign language for Deaf communities in Canada, the United States, and many other countries around the world.

ASL employs a range of movements in the hands, face, and body. ASL has been used for over 250 years, and is now estimated to be used more than 500,000 people in Canada and the US.

All courses within this course series are delivered in class, allowing you to practise with your instructors and fellow students.

You will learn from a combination of lectures, in-class demonstrations, dialogues, conversations, videos, and practice using audiovisual support.

What Will You Learn?

In introductory courses, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of ASL and learn to communicate effectively in everyday situations, grammar, using basic signs and fingerspelling.

In intermediate courses, you will expand your vocabulary and learn to communicate with more than one person.

This will enable you to conduct conversations and express using non-manual signals, emotions, and feelings in a variety of everyday and professional situations.

We know the world has changed and made life challenging in so many ways. Workplace interactions are taking place primarily through a computer screen, healthcare is moving towards a “tele-first” approach with patients, and people are relying on their phone to do just about everything, from ordering groceries to enrolling in online courses.

With the world in a state of uncertainty, we want to provide education security — with courses that speak to our learners’ needs, help them reach their personal or professional goals, and fit into their busy schedule. Whether a continuous learner is looking to advance their career, pivot professionally, or make their life richer, we’re here for them every step of the way.

The Chang School is more than just a place to learn; we’re on a mission to redefine continuous learning. We’re accomplishing this by listening to our learners and developing programs, certificates, and support services that respond to their goals and the challenges they’re facing — through every learning stage of their life.

We’re also fostering a passionate community of learners, instructors, and staff by creating opportunities for connecting and learning from one another, even in this primarily digital world. From personalized advice to exclusive career-building events, we’re building relationships with our learners so they feel supported in taking the next step in their career journey.
