Sign Language classes

Received this info via email:

High School/College level Sign Classes

Learn American Sign Language (ASL) as your foreign language for High School foreign language credit.  The book we will be using will be at a College level. This will be an academic focused class to be able to receive credits for your transcripts and with the potential to CLEP out of these same classes at College.
My name is Stacey Borrego and I have been involved in the deaf community for over 20 years as an interpreter and teaching Sign Language classes.  I was immersed for a year in the deaf culture traveling and living with a deaf ministry called Deaf Opportunity Outreach (DOOR) where I gained insurmountable experience in this beautiful language called American Sign Language!  I have completed the Interpreter program at Waubonsee Community College.

Since 2005 I have been teaching Sign Language classes to individuals of all ages, Children to adults.  Currently I am an educational and freelance interpreter.

The cost of these classes will be $125 per student. Location will be: 737 Hamilton Way Batavia The dates of the classes will be every Tuesdays from 6:00 – 7:00pm (below is a list of the dates):

1/20;  1/27; 2/3; 2/10; 2/17; 2/24; 3/3; 3/10; 3/17; 3/24; 4/7; 4/14; 4/21; 4/28; 5/5; 5/12; 5/19

In addition to these classes we will be going to some deaf events at different times.  This will be optional on different days.

If you are interested in signing up please either email me at szraborrego@aol.com or call me at 630-479-9094.  After you register I will send you the information about the book you will need.

Thanks!   Stacey Borrego
