ASL Self Assessment Guidelines
During the semester, you have had many opportunities to create dialogues or other
expressive presentations in ASL. You have been given feedback on these
assignments/presentations from your instructor and your peers, informing you on
your strengths and areas needing improvement in ASL. In addition, you have alsohad opportunities to interact with Deaf individuals in various capacities (e.g.
videophone, Deaf events, etc.) and have analyzed and discussed details of and from
these interactions.
Your assignment is to review your ASL production from the beginning of ASL I
until now, with a concentration on your progress and improvement in your current
course, and then write a responseincluding specific examples, with details!!!
marking this progress. The idea is to analyze these clips and presentations forgrowth and improvement in your ASL skills, vocabulary, and other expressive
qualities.
To prepare for your self-assessment narrative, you should:
review and discuss your previous goals and ASL production focus areas and
comment on the progress youve since you established those goals. Add details
of when and why you made the initial goals for your ASL acquisition.
Analyze (in detail, with examples from your assignments and/or memory)
linguistic information (video clips, dialogue feedback from me and your peers,
etc.) that is specific to this course.
o You should consider dialogues and presentations, video journals and
expressive homework practices, interactions with members of the deaf
community, and general class interaction. You should look at and include
specific feedback from your instructor and students, when applicable.
Review and refer to any previous self assessments that you made on specific
assignments for this course or previous courses. These may be posted in
BlackBoard Threaded Discussions. Include some details from these assignment
self-assessments; they will help inform your broader self assessment for this
course/assignment.

Then, you will write a response (at least3-4 pages, though it is likely to be more
than this) that shows your reflection on your cumulative ASL production. How
have you grown/improved? What are the differences? You must
cite at least three general areas of strength/needing improvement for your
current course and include specific examples/details.
o Then for each general area, you will elaborate on and give specific
analysis of your ASL production, remarking on your perspective on ASL
production. Are you Satisfied (S), Slightly Satisfied (SS), or Not
Satisfied (NS) with your ASL production in each area? Why?
reflect on what you think helped (or hindered) your improvement. Be
specific! Do not just say that you practiced a lot!
state at least two specific goals for improvement, explaining how you thinkyou will meet those goals!
Lastly, you must reflect on your ASL goals and objectives from previous
courses (at least 2) and give details on whether these goals have been realized
at this present time.
o For each area, you should include commentary and examples of how and
why you have noticed improvement and/or what goals have yet to be
realized (and if you can, why they have not yet been realized).
In your reflections, you may want to focus on topics such as
Complexity of your sentencesDid you stick with the simplest
questions/answers or did you try to add details to your
questions/comments?
Use of proper ASL grammar Did your sentences follow English word
order or did you use Topic Comment and Object-Subject-Verb
formation (when appropriate)?
Fluency of your sentences/sign productionhow well/smoothly did your
signs flow together? Did you pause a lot? Were you mouthing
English too much?
This assignment is due on the date specified by your instructor.

Remember that if you are continuing on to ASL 2, 3, or 4, you should keep a copy
of your self assessment(s) and keep your video journals/documentation of
recordings for future use. They are required in future classes.
