What's So Hard about Learning ASL?: Students'& Teachers' Perceptions.
McKee, Rachel Locker; McKee, David
Sign Language Studies, n75 p129-58 Sum 1992
A survey of teachers' and students' perceptions of the difficulty of learning American Sign Language (ASL) suggested that teachers generally rated the learning difficulty levels higher than students, and both groups cited such sociolinguistic and affective problems as cultural inhibitions, interacting with the deaf, and attitudes and motivations of ASL learners.
