Our Summer Residency Program offers a place where participants from all over the nation and the world share a common goal of wanting to accelerate their learning of American Sign Language (ASL). This academic program happens at Gallaudet University campus in person, the only university designed specifically for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students in the world. ASL courses offered in two-week sessions throughout the summer allow participants like you to increase their language competency without the distractions of their day-to-day lives with the option to stay in our campus dorms.
As part of the course requirement, registered students will have the opportunity to enhance their skills in ASL through structured, interactive Zoom meetings with our Deaf instructional staff. ASL Language Sessions are designed for ASL levels 1 to 4 and are intended to reinforce what students are learning in their course in a fun and interactive way that is intended to develop fluency and confidence.
An incredible bonus immersion experience – The Virtual Immersion Best Experience! (VIBE!) offers engagement in language-rich social events such as ASL-related games, guest speakers, and connections with instructors, teacher assistants, and peers. These weekly fun virtual events run concurrently with our classes. If you want to participate in the VIBE! program, you can add this $50 activity fee option during the registration process. ***In order for you to participate in VIBE!, you will need to register for the course.
