edX platform offers the opportunity to attend a free online course on Sign Language Structure, Learning, and Change. During this course, students will learn what myths and truths about sign languages have been revealed through research, whether they are fluent in sign language or simply interested in learning more.
This course aims to integrate the history of ideas about American Sign Language (ASL) with research that has been done on the structure, learning, and historical change of ASL and other sign languages.
This course is a four-week self-paced course. Lecture videos are delivered in ASL with English subtitles and voiceover. The course will introduce all of these students to the science of sign language research and, for fluent ASL signers, the history and structure of their own language. It will also expose students at the intermediate level to the fields of linguistics and the cognitive sciences.
