Summary: The Modern Languages Association (MLA) reported in 2009 that approximately 92,000 students are studying ASL in more that 800 programs across the U.S. The importance of standards to support consistent quality of language and culture instruction cannot be overemphasized. The American Sign Language Teachers Association and the National Consortium collaborated on the development of standards for use by teachers and administrators in ASL instruction for K-16 settings, aligned with the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL) framework. Soon to be published in Standards for Foreign Language Learning in the 21^st Century, the ASL Standards provide guidance in curriculum development and revision.

Dr. Kurz’s presentation will focus on the these newly developed Standards for ASL, how they were developed, their content, and the purpose they serve in the effective teaching of ASL.

Target Audience: Interpreting education program faculty and administrators, ASL instructors, and interested others.

Questions: Please direct questions about webinar content to Cathy Cogen, c.cogen@neu.edu. Logistical questions may be directed to Crystal Eusebio, c.eusebio@neu.edu.

The National Interpreter Education Center is affiliated with the National Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers. Consortium centers are funded by the U.S. Department of Education Rehabilitation Services Administration, CFDA H160A and H160B.
