Eye-Zone: Building a Bridge Between the English Language and American Sign Language

By Michael Walton

Eye-Zone is a cool way to see and learn more about the who, why, where, and how of the English language.

There are many beautiful and expressive forms of usage when reading and writing English. Yet English is considered one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn!

At the same time, American Sign Language also has many elegant forms of expression. Eye-Zone video clips will help bridge the gap between English and American Sign Language.

Each issue of World Around You will feature an Eye-Zone story. When you see the eye icon next to a hyperlinked part of the story, click on the link to view the Eye-Zone video for that part of the story.

Some people say video is to American Sign Language what printing is to the English language. Eye-Zone allows us to capture and express the beauty of American Sign Language and communicate through it.
