Online Language Instructor - American Sign Language (ASL).

At Transparent Language, we bring language learning to communities around the world via public library subscriptions. We also want to support library staff who serve patrons with different linguistic backgrounds, including Deaf patrons who communicate via ASL. As part of that effort, we offer library professionals access to a virtual “ASL for Librarians” class.

Our language training technique combines technology and live instruction to engage learners and deliver stronger outcomes. We rely heavily on experienced, passionate teachers to leverage our technology and lead our blended teaching programs. We invite instructors interested in rising to this challenge to apply and help deliver these results.
