Workshop Information:
This activity will incorporate mouth morphemes. ASL requires the use of mouth morphemes. Students do not always know how to incorporate the mouth morphemes, know which mouth morpheme means what, and when to use them. This workshop will review the purpose and when mouth morphemes are used. Afterwards the instructor will show each morpheme and show how to use them. This training will be conducted in American Sign Language. Voice interpretation will not be provided.
