For readers interested in learning American Sign Language (ASL), the YouTube channel of American Sign Language University (ASLU) is a wonderful free resource. Launched in 2007, this channel is run by Dr. Bill Vicars, who has taught ASL for over 20 years and is a professor of deaf studies at California State University, Sacramento. Here, visitors will find dozens of videos featuring Vicars teaching ASL lessons to one of his students, allowing viewers to learn along with the student. 60 of these lessons are organized into 4 playlists comprising a sequential curriculum designed for beginning ASL learners. Other more advanced playlists focus on medical sign language and ASL linguistics. There are also numerous individual videos demonstrating, for example, fingerspelling, jokes, and law-related ASL. Vicars, who was born deaf and is immersed in the Deaf community, intends his channel to be a "[r]esource site for ASL students, teachers, interpreters, and parents of Deaf children," and it acts as an extension of ASLU's main website, Lifeprint.com (see the 7-14-2006 Scout Report). New videos are often added to the channel, making it well worth repeat visits.
