Respect for a culture of its language

Content: It ties with a long history of oppression and audism that Deaf people endured for hundreds or thousands of years. Classroom is a good place to train and learn to practice "no voice" custom that will be applied to a cultural behavior and norm in the ASL/Deaf world outside a classroom. Hearing people who know ASL usually talk in ASL in any ASL/Deaf space (e.g. Deaf club, party or event, deaf school, social gathering, etc.) or in front of any Deaf person to respect their culture and language. Language and culture are inseparable, intergrated, and intertwined. Your learning involves your process of allyship. As ASL is the most valued identity of our culture, teaching you our ASL language is regarded a precious gift of from us. Learning ASL in class is usually a fun and interesting experience. Students often have a positive learning experience, but also make sure the ASL (Deaf) instructors have a positive teaching experience also. Respect is a peaceful language across all languages and cultures.
