Learning to Learn American Sign Language

The Unlearning Curve: Learning to Learn American Sign Language is the product of many years of teaching, study, research, and reflection. While there are any number of books that offer to teach you ASL, this is one of the very few books that focuses instead on helping you learn it. Drawn from one of the first studies ever done of perceptions and characteristics of ASL students, The Unlearning Curve is a detailed look at what and how ASL students think about learning the language. By detailing many of the common obstacles students face and offering practical suggestions to improve their study, this book makes a solid contribution to learning and teaching of ASL.
