About the Curriculum
What is Signing Naturally?
Signing Naturally is a comprehensive ASL curriculum that uses a functional-notional approach to language learning. Developed by Deaf professionals, it features video-based lessons with native Deaf signers and has been the gold standard for ASL instruction at colleges across North America for over 25 years.
Used by more than 500 institutions and trusted by thousands of educators, Signing Naturally provides students with authentic exposure to ASL as it is naturally used in the Deaf community.
