"On the Other Hand" consists of a series of 20 videotape 30-minute lessons designed to give the beginning to intermediate level student basic knowledge about both sign language and the deaf community. The series teaches a basic sign vocabulary and introduces many of the grammatical features and principles of American Sign Language (ASL) and Pidgin Sign English. Historical facts as well as more recent information about deafness and sign language are provided. The study guide is intended to supplement and reinforce the information presented in the videotapes.
