How do you sign “English” in ASL?
ENGLISH: ENGLISH in American Sign Language (ASL) names the English language. The video and animated demonstration below show the sign.
When do you use the sign ENGLISH?
ENGLISH matters doubly in Deaf education, as a school subject and as the second language many Deaf students learn alongside ASL. Conversations about bilingualism, writing, and captions all route through it. Classroom contrasts between ASL grammar and English grammar keep the sign in weekly use for students.
Lesson 16 of the challenge covers it with the school subjects.
